Pros

I never really felt comfortable in this environment from day one due to the lack of Sr and middle Management competency and lack of support. The biggest pro was getting to meet some very nice and skilled employees.

Cons

As a Sr PM, I was repeatedly assigned multi million $ projects to manage without prior Executive Management prioritization, sponsorship, committed resources, or adequate approved budget, not to mention their level of maturity and acknowledgement for process improvement was nothing nut lip service, time and again! I was blamed for projects that didn't achieve their unrealistic goals and used as a scapegoat for their own lack of engagement and support as continually requested by myself on several large and supposed critical projects. Sr executive Mgmt has the majority of employees either brainwashed or manipulated via their very subjective employee performance review system. It is one of the most untrustworthy companies I ever worked for in my 35 yrs of employment in 6 different industries! They really should be thoroughly investigated by an independent regulatory agency.

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.
