Pros

There is hope because many of the teams are still mission/values focused and working to change the experience for patients, their families and the communities served. There are also wonderful peers to support each other. But,

Cons

over the years, things have moved away from being supportive to the employee. In the past three-years, the HR team has been unable to meet the needs of the organization. The leadership team hops on the next cool fad but continues to struggle causing continuous staff restructuring and reductions in workforce. The culture is poor, the staff is overworked, stressed and now operate with a fear-based (save yourself) mindset.

Pros

The patient population can be very rewarding to work with, and there can be lots of different job opportunities but very limited advancement with mainly lateral department shifts if a person is looking for change.

Cons

Raises are almost non-existent. The "raise" is a yearly COLA of between 2%-3%. There is no ability to talk to anyone regarding a raise, even the admin staff are fully stonewalled in the overlly corporate monolithic HR style of maintaining "fair" wages. I have worked here for several years and I actually earn less now because my "raises" do not keep up with inflation and the actual cost of living. They maintain their functionality on squeezing as much as they can out of one employer by slowly shifting more job responsibilities called "opportunities" onto you without extra pay or change in title that would get a pay increase. They look to higher level licensed staff to provide more coverage for roles that they won't hire for or cut in departments. They do "organizational restructuring" every 6 months because more staff quit, they don't replace the staff, and tell others to absorb the former FT employees job responsibilities without pay increase and being told not to go into OT.
