Pros

1) Management is not results driven so you can pretty much do whatever you want. 2) No pressure to deliver anything of value. You get a nice yearly bonus if you just show up for work. 3) Come and go as you please.

Cons

1) Zero professional development. 2) Management focused on themselves moving up - not on developing their teams. 3) Very passive aggressive organization. 4) Senior leadership did not walk their talk. 5) Senior leaders are very traditional and have out of date thinking styles. Think Qwest (now defunct) type of leadership. 6) Physician, Health Plan and Union leadership put up a good front but behind closed doors very different story. 7) Care delivery people in general very unhappy. Middle management is lost. Senior management totally out of touch. Executives (about 30 of them) busy building glass walls (literally) to shut out the noise.

Pros

The overall mission of the company is very important. Most of the rank and file work hard and want to do a good job.

Cons

I have recently changed groups but my leadership at the VP level in my former group was very unprofessional and manipulative. There was a large amount of dishonesty in the information that was shared with our clients and Sr. Management to drive our VP's personal agenda. This type of behavior was rewarded in that particular group. We have been reorg'd 7 times in the past 3 years. So far my experience under the new VP has been positive and focused on accomplishing work goals.
