Pros

Caring individuals at the bedside...providing direct care...still have a chance if they start engaging and listening to those who have been in health care more than 10 years.

Cons

Leadership significantly negatively altered culture due to their classic error in trying to reduce the budget by slashing labor cost blindly. History constantly repeats itself because young hot shot executive leadership think they know better than those who have weathered the ups and downs of multiple economic turns. They bring in young inexperienced staff and leaders who are arrogant and lack real life experience to make decisons....reinventing the same broken wheels of Healthcare instead of listening to and respecting the wisdom and knowledge of those who went before them. The evidence that would lead to success is there...egos of the current leadership is blocking the opportunity to break out of the cycle of failure.

Pros

The hospital itself is very reputable.

Cons

Cold office culture. No one interacts with anyone else. Days will go by before someone notices you aren’t there. Sometimes it feels like solitary confinement. No team collaboration. Four to five people on the entire team are considered for special projects, EPIC events and training in which they often do not provide helpful feedback to the team or willing to assist others with issues. Constant non-productive meetings. High employee turnover. Frequent new employees and the “What have I gotten myself into” look on their face. Managers have NO leadership skills and will go out of their way to unnecessarily lie to you. There are always things that are kept confidential, but they lie about things that have no purpose to confuse you and make you feel secure in your position. No direction given to new employees and then penalizes you for not understanding what is expected of you after several attempts to ask your supervisor. If you’re used to being a top performer, you will be degraded with a lack of responsibility unless you suck up, then you are recognized with promotions and recognition awards. High performance tasks are usually given to the managers’ favorites in which they constantly recognize them, making the others feel ashamed for doing “low level” duties. Extreme boredom if you are an efficient person. There should always be something to do, but there just isn’t and you end going to the all the non-productive meetings so you have something to do. Beware of Ambulatory- EPIC.

Opportunity For Successful Merger Squandered

Pros

With the 2013 merger of University of Colorado Hospital with Poudre Valley Health System, some of the benefits remained and there were still many hard-working employees left from the previous PVHS system when I left that remembered and lived the PVHS values and culture that had made it such a great employer and healthcare provider for the community.

Cons

Failing to replace employees that left in favor of eliminating entire positions and redistributing the workload. Adding additional managers and supervisors who spend more time tracking performance metrics and commuting back and forth to meetings to discuss them instead of spending more time on site or on the floors providing guidance and support to their teams---None of this seemed to actually improve the numbers, let alone employee engagement or patient care.
