Pros

The front line staff to middle management are very mission driven and passionate about serving under-served communities. Many opportunities to grow for early professionals since it's a growing and dynamic organization.

Cons

Senior Leaders do not have the culture of teamwork, business acumen or leadership skills to commit to goals, thoughtfully plan 1 to 3 year actions and execute the plan. The CEO continues to blatant practice nepotism and does not practice data driven decision-making. Many of them are protecting their legacies by trying to win awards like Baldridge and blindly copying more mature organizations like Kaiser vs. building up the foundation of talent and leaders. As a result the "us vs. corporate" silos have grown, trust no-one politicking continues and the good and kind leaders are marginalized and squeezed out. It's very sad to see.

Pros

Great health and dental insurance, and lots of opportunities to train. Good coworkers to lean on.

Cons

There are rarely any opportunities for part time positions, so most people end up stuck and aren't able to attend school full time unless they quit. A lot of favoritism and nepotism. If you bring up genuine concerns to management, they'll just spit out corporate policies instead of working on actual solutions to help employees and patients alike. Several employees have left due to burnout but management shames them for not being able to handle the huge workload.
