Pros

There is a lot of interesting research being conducted in the many departments at the hospital. Some of the physicians are very intellectually stimulating, visionary, and make it worth while to work at the hospital.

Cons

It is a large organization that has an administration that works, acts, and responds very slowly. Their pay is severely below the market, and they strong arm the local healthcare professionals into accepting less than market salaries. The people accept the positions because of the limited options in the area. There are some premium paid positions, but they are for the prestigious physicians and friends of management.

Pros

you can set your own schedule, you can work hybrid/remote if you're meeting metrics

Cons

god awful to work for, they will over work you then blame you when you dont take your lunch breaks or when you go into overtime. you have to be READY to sustain the demand of this job fr. inconsistent pay raises (if any). management is incredibly difficult and moody and cliquey. when they like you they'll be helpful, when they don't, your clients will suffer because of it and you will take the blame from both sides
