Lacks Potential

Pros

It's a job in this economy. Better a job than none. Initially viewed the organization as progressive and one to work for. Very much an old boy club with a few woman managers who are not yes people.

Cons

Overall, I came to this organization because of it's compassion but, it lacks luster and has gone done substantially since my employment. Now, we're embarking on another potential mass layoff of employees. The organization does not appreciate an open dialogue with staff. Some of the leadership view any dissent agreement to as negative. Staff experiences repercussions for speaking up if it does coincide with the mandate from senior leadership

Great co-workers; IT senior leadership lead by intimidation.

Pros

Great co-workers, benefits, reputation and hospitals/clinics.

Cons

IT department is unbelievable. Main hub in Sacremento - any production change decisions do not include affiliate sites. Whatever they decide to implement gets done - anything else is put on a list that fades to black. Managers/Supervisors beware! You will more than likely be hired at a salary that is 10-25% "lower" than your staff! No need to address the issue - nothing will be done. Regional CIO is very arragant and tempermental - speaks to employees as though they are "beneath" him; does not keep his word - not concerned about work/life balance of employees. In March of 2011, restructure occured - employee titles, and salaries were lowered or capped with minimal fair warning - multiple employees left within six months of changes; however, CIO expressed this had nothing to do with the restructure.....yeah, right. Opportunity for growth and the so called "Career Path" module is designed for those who live in or are willing to relocate to Sacramento - very few jobs available in the East and/or South Bay.
