Pros

Shepherd Center is highly competitive in salary and benefits. Great model for a company- almost unrealistic for both employees and patients. Sets unrealistic expectations when you have to leave! Family atmosphere, great leadership, good communication. Great working environment. Only hospital I've ever worked at that gave all employees a bonus!

Cons

Location, if you live OTP- traffic is hard. Days off accrue, rather than getting them all at once, like at the beginning of the year. They are meeting heavy- way too many meetings- about everything. Doctors can be hard to work with sometimes- some are better than others.

Business Outlook

Pros

Salaries fair, decent healthcare benefits, relaxed atmosphere

Cons

Terrible PDO policy (have to use PDO for holidays/sick leave/vacation)- salaried employees should not be forced to use their PDO for holidays when their department is closed (e.g. Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas)!!! Poor leadership in certain departments due to zero knowledge of the area they oversee. Serious lack of diversity in senior level management positions and hospital board. HR says they have an open door, but do nothing to help you. Qualified workers are often passed over for positions they deserve for people a manager likes. IT department has a toxic work culture (male managers and directors often making rude comments about women, dismissive to female co-workers yet continue to get promoted and supported by HR & CEO)
