Career Growth or NOT

Pros

Benefits are great especially if you have a large family.

Cons

After 10 years of service it has become clear to me that, career growth is only allowed to those who are groomed, and or offered to family/friends of current employees generally of leadership. From my experience, it doesn't matter how many years of service, education, or dedication you have. I have been denied a position that was later offered to a leader in my department's son, and the recruiters slipped and told me that they had interviewed him... Go figure!

Pros

By far some of the most wonderful people I've worked with at the middle and frontline level. Meaningful work for someone not from healthcare originally. Good pay, amazing benefits, good PTO/leave, paid conferences, tuition reimb. I get the impression that clinicians have had it better at Kaiser/UCSF/Stanford but as someone from outside the industry free insurance is a godsend.

Cons

Bad HR processes, tough to get promoted, especially since you have to apply internally even if you're just moving locations. Sick/PTO time is one bank. Upper management seems out of touch with what actually goes on in the workplace, too focused on results and "culture" nonsense to care, short-sighted. The healthcare industry seems like it lives in feast or famine, currently in famine so micro-layoffs of staff, which is the wrong and easy way out is a key strategy and you wonder why unions happen? Feels like pushing a glacier to change things, very conservative organization when it comes to regulations, a bit demoralizing when you see the bad processes workers have to put up with to get their job done, same with overburdened middle managers.
