Pros
Pay is OK compared to what is offered on the outside. Longer term of employ encourages one to stay
Cons
Management is poor, they are inexperienced for the most part. A good clinical employee does not always make a good manager. If you get your U/Phoenix Masters or your GCU Master's it does not qualify you to manage people positively or appropriately. New management has little to no people experience and it shows. Benefits are poor. Expensive for working in a hospital system and very limited when it comes to providers. Many providers really need a review, they are incompetent and not up to current educational or care standards. Opportunity for advancement in non-clinical capacity is poor as well. No raises for years. Tuition reimbursement has been cut. No developmental opportunities even within the organization, few classes or any skill enhancement opportunities unless it's for nursing, and I don't know that there are even enough of those. Employees are allowed to settle in and despite failure of performance, preference is given to longevity. If you are here 20+ years, you can die here if that is your wish. Ineffective performers are not removed, and sometimes rewarded to get them out of the current situation when everyone becomes aware they are problematic.
