Pros

Compensation and benefits are attractive. Staff and co-workers are supportive

Cons

For such a big-name Health Care system, they are stuck in the dark ages. It is embarrassing the resources you have to fight for. Senior leadership appears supportive in public but is rude and dismissive behind closed doors. People are afraid to speak up for fear of retaliation, therefore things will never change. There is no work-life balance, no one cares if you are working seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Leadership only cares about what you produce but care nothing about you as a person.

Pros

Mission-focused Some patients and employees are nice Good benefits

Cons

Crowded and Busy. In the cancer institute the lines for check-in went out the door and it seems like everyone forgets their manners in that place. Very little pay for dealing with so many angry patients
