Pros
Stable organization. Well known in the community. Patients appreciate the medical services. The organization has a very positive mission statement. Opportunity to interact with patients and help them.
Cons
No matter how much education you have, or how long you have worked there, upward mobility will take a long time if you don't have influential friends on the inside. Favoritism, lack of employee and patient health privacy with in HIM, Inpatient, and even outside of the health system is extremely lacking. Little to no professionalism in some departments and no accountability when employee's, that are also patients, health information is shared system wide. Jokes and comments made about patients medical records and employees shared with employees withing the health system. Hotline reporting is a joke, because little if anything is done, leaving employees allowing unprofessional and illegal activities to occur because of lack of action by higher ups. Length of employment is more important than skills, education or the organizations vision/mission statement.
