Pros

The mission: If you truly believe in proving incredible care to EVERYONE despite their demographics, then this is the place for you. Benefits cannot be beaten, they are amazing. Pay is incredible too. You're not going to find a better combo anywhere else.

Cons

This place loves to emphasize that they treat "Minorities" however, they do not like to hire minorities in higher positions. You'll have no problem finding a Black or Latina nurse working on a med surge floor, but they seem to be missing when it comes to higher-level floors such as ED, ICU, and even L&D. Why are there so many White women who aren't even from the surrounding neighborhoods treating the patient population that they've never had any interactions with beyond in a healthcare setting? They will hire a White nurse from suburban mass with an ADN faster than they'd hire a Black woman who speaks Spanish, has her BSN, and is from Dorchester. Then they'll be surprised when little Becky cannot handle the patient population and leaves them for a hospital like MGH after their contract is over. Or she'll realize the pay is too good, and stay on as a bitter, barely competent nurse who hates treating the population she so desperately wanted to serve coming out of school. White nurses and HR are the gatekeepers, and they're responsible for this. They get their White friends and family members in here who don't even believe in the mission, they just want the $$$.

Pros

You will make some great connections working in a very large hospital, Great lunch options, Cafe food is pretty good too. There are opportunities and initiatives that is open to all employees to get involved around the hospital. Benefits are great. When I first started the org was very mission driven

Cons

Parking is expensive, HR hiring process is extremely slow, outdated payroll system (paper time sheets, really in 2014?) Human Resources department is constantly changing, nothing they say is ever consistent departments within HR do not really work together. There is no room for professional growth, And also there isn't any professional development opportunities for training. Management fails to consider work life balance for their employees, they just expect their employees to come in early, stay late and work throughout their lunch. Worst of all HR is unreliable.
