No love for employees

Pros

Good Medical,dental , 401k , life insurance. Well equipped hospitals (well most of them anyway).

Cons

No love for employees. Pay rate is absolutely terrible. Whatever you start at is what you will make your entire employment duration. If you really really push , then you might get a 50 cent raise after 2 years or so. Very high turn over rate especially in management. Alot of hospitals share 1 manager between 3 or 4 hospitals making them absent and disgruntled when they are there. Very petty corporate values regarding policies and the health care of patients. Doctors are forced to sell unnecessary products and services to meet a certain quota so as not to have salary deducted. Introduction of senior best care package puts employees health at risk by offering 5 view whole body x rays along with complete lab panel for cheap price. Employees are exposed to unnecessary and excessive amounts of radiation as doctors are encouraged to sell at least 10 packages a day resulting in nearly 100 exposurs in a day to employees for no good reason other that it's a good deal. Employees are pushed to sell new monthly installment package plans to clients that deduct money from your account monthly and can never be cancelled even if your pet dies. Employees are brainwashed a lot of times to believe that their isn't anything else better for them.

Pros

Great people to work with, Executive Management team truly cares about its employees, flexible and understanding about family needs, great work environment.

Cons

Benefits could use some work. Is a bit behind the times with processes/technology and tends to be a bit slow on moving forward.
