I now know why healthcare is so expensive.

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is above-average. There are many positions that one could apply for, should they be inclined. The PEP system they have set up is great, because you can use a general bucket of accrued time for sick, personal, vacation, or holiday time.

Cons

The hours are long, there is very little communication within the organization. People lose jobs to create opportunities for extra VP roles. Money is spent frivolously, and there is a committee for everything.

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive salary, great co-workers, nice setting

Cons

Employee health insurance options are rediculously expensive for anyone who needs to add family members. For a major hospital, it's insulting how much they expect their employees to pay. A lot of many seems to be going I to the Modernization Project with less being spent on employee retention and satisfaction.
