Pros
I am privileged to work at Mission Hospital. Everyday I am apart of a team that delivers excellent care to every patient/family. Each MD, RN, Case Manager really cares and exhausts all resources so each patient/family can have the best outcome. While we are a big hospital, it often feels like family taking care of family. I think this comes from starting off as a smaller hospital many years ago. I have been a pt. at the hospital along with several of my family members and we have all received excellent care. Another pro when working for Mission Hospital are all the perks they offer through a discounted community list (ex. discounts at local restaurants, shops), staff health, day care, a wellness center (it provides massage, acupuncture, exercise classes), career development center, retirement, and financial counseling through an independent company seperate of Mission.
Cons
When working within a larger system there are always challenges. At times the pace of change seems too rapid but this is part of Mission's commitment to stay cutting edge and deliver the best care possible and keep patient's safe. Even though this is a con Mission does always provide training that they pay you for during these transitions. Also, it can take a bit to get through Human Resources and get hired on at Mission but persistence is key and it is worth the wait. I also know that Human Resources works daily to improve this process.
