Pros

Well-maintained facilities Some nice co-workers Occasional morale boosters for the office (eg, cake for birthdays, raffles)

Cons

This company purports itself to be non-profit health CARE entity, but spends way too much money on managerial staff who are not even remotely involved in patient care. Doctors are under-appreciated for the amount of work they do; many seem stressed to the max. Management can play favorites and be inflexible. Candidates are selected to positions based on who they know in the company, not their skill set. TONS of nepotism -- it is well-known that there are certain people in charge (despite being sorely under-qualified for their positions) only because of who they know/who they are related to and not based on talents/skills.

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.
