Provides great benefits, give back to the community, focus on providing healing

Business Outlook

Pros

Frugal use of company resources (for example, they reuse computer equipment if it is still good enough for the job). Great benefits, with a employer match for the retirement account. Cafeteria and gym located on site. Very focused on helping the community and giving to those in need.

Cons

The corporate management is too far away (St Louis, MO), and they seem to be out of touch with the local employees. You may never meet many of the people you correspond with on a daily basis. They are going through structural changes with the merger with Dean, which can be a little confusing.

Business Outlook

Pros

State of the art facility, patients are treated very well, all private room; generally very collaborative culture between physicians and clinical staff. Administration usually supportive. Very clean, cheerful surroundings

Cons

Employee parking is not very close; volumes in the hospital can vary greatly, causing employees to be "low censused" and hours later can end up working short staffed
