Business Outlook

Pros

Great team of people to work with throughout all disciplines! Top notch medical personnel Opportunities for involvement and impacting hospital policy Opportunities for advancement/certifications Management styles are becoming more open to employee contributions

Cons

Management can be a bit top-down Very anti-union, historically. The hospital is so focused on Magnet (and maintaining this status) that it can lack focus in the direction of its development

Pros

Delivery of quality care Top-notch nursing staff Commitment to technology Magnet Hospital --------------- As a patient, you really can't get better care anywhere. I can tell you that from experience.

Cons

Not many career paths Employee opinions not valued Diversity not valued or encouraged ---------------------------- Employees are viewed more as numbers or a commodity. The management style is really top-down. In terms of workload, the attitude is "make it happen or we will find someone who will". Overall culture of the hospital is still quite backwards, as many of the employees have never been anywhere else.
