Pros

It is a stable place. It is growing. Finances are in order and strong. People seem to be treated fairly and are recognized for good work and bad work. Medical staff seems to have a good work life balance. Good reputation in the community. Good pay and benefits for the area - fair. HR considers your experience and education.

Cons

Very poor in technology, although they are implementing an EHR system. Many of the people here have challenges using the simplest of applications - such as Excel. It is ridiculous that this place is so behind the times in physician engagement. Physicians are not made aware of their performance through any but the most rudimentary means. As with many parts of the community, this place is behind the times and not dynamic. If you are a person that prefers a stable environment that is not progressive but is steady, then you will like it here. Again, like the rest of the community, this place is not an innovator by any means and so if you are someone who does not want a challenge and just wants an undynamic atmoshpere, this seems to be the place.

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.
