Pros

Mobility, free coffee and soda, great people. It has a great mission statement. The mission director is amazing and really inspires us.

Cons

They prefer college degrees but hire people with HS diplomas, which makes for a big gap in education. They then wonder why theses departments are failing. HS diplomas are great, but you should provide education on how to do your job if you have no experience. The upper management provides quarterly meetings with the whole company where they basically congratulate each other on how great they are without acknowledging the people below them. Sure, they read a few good reviews, but that seems to be the only time they concern themselves with the "lower" workers. Otherwise, we would not have failing departments.

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.
