Leaders mean well, but lack accountability

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Leaders say the right things and I believe they truly want that.

Cons

No accountability at any level of the organization. The right things are said but not sustained becuase retention is more important than culture change.

Great pay and learning opportunities, but steep learning curve

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits package for an APP role in trauma — OU Health offers solid compensation compared to similar academic medical center positions Incredible learning environment; exposure to high-acuity trauma cases accelerates clinical growth faster than most APP positions Working within a large academic health system means access to resources, specialists, and cutting-edge protocols that smaller centers can't offer Great opportunity to build a strong trauma-specific skill set that opens doors for career advancement

Cons

The steep learning curve can feel overwhelming early on — the volume and complexity of cases demands you hit the ground running
