Many VPs/SVPs suffer from emperor-has-no-clothes syndrome - Director In Administration WellSpan Health Employee Review

Pros

Health benefits are solid.

Cons

True innovation at WellSpan is stifled in large part for three reasons: 1) Homegrown VPs/SVPs responsible for aspects of the business for which they are unprepared. Leadership recruited from outside of WellSpan and the healthcare industry often encounter resistance and/or passive aggressive hostility when they attempt to implement new processes and programs. Many VPs use their title as currency to prove they know more than their newly hired experts--even if said VP has never had one day of experience in the new hire's area specialty (apparently reading a few articles and throwing around a few buzzwords is enough). 2) Personality is often prized over performance. Having alternate opinions than your VP/SVP, even when expressed respectfully and in the context of making smart business decisions often gets you marked as a troublemaker, while those who are overly agreeable (IMO) and reflect the preferred image projected by the VP/SVP are showered with praise, promotions and plum projects.
