Pros

What sets Houston Methodist apart from other organizations is the culture. The I CARE values of Integrity, Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Excellence permeate everything we do. We do strive to be the best - the best employer, the best patient care provider, the best patient experience provider - and sometimes that push for excellence is overwhelming to new people. But for those of us who thrive an setting and achieving high expectations, it is incredibly rewarding. I started as a non-management employee and have worked my way up through a few promotions. My salary has increased proportionate with the new challenges I have taken on and my benefits continue to grow with tenure. The benefits package is so rich for tenured employees it is hard to even consider making a change. Good pay, good benefits, a flexible schedule, opportunities for growth - what is not to love? Oh yeah - $millions in investment of extra PTO when we flooded in May - what other company does that? None that I know of!

Cons

If you want a job where you can just show up and exist, but not contribute with passion and expertise, you will not survive here. Parking in the med center is a known challenge not just for Methodist, and is a tradeoff you have to live with to work in the world's most innovative medical center. But parking is free, which is better than a lot of companies in the Houston area's condensed business centers.

Pros

The only pro is a lot of people who work here are kind hearted and awesome employees. However, I think Houston Methodist takes advantage of their kind hearted nature.

Cons

- Insurance. RIDICULOUS! They just changed our insurance to one of the worst in the nation via a self funded UMR organization. Our dental went from the highly regarded met life to Delta. We have to pay 10% of our costs ON TOP of our biweekly costs, deductible, etc. This IS NOT in line with other hospitals. MD Anderson pays 0% biweekly, and their insurance is much better! We are seriously becoming the laughing stock of the med center by nurses. Most intelligent nurses and staff will not work at Methodist. That is why they are constantly having career fairs. - Low pay. Again, laughing stock of the medical center. Everyone is raising wages right now, even Walmart, but Methodist still lags behind. No weekend shift diff either when almost all medical hospitals have weekend shift diff. -No room for growth. Management never leaves because they make bank money, because they started back when Methodist was under another CEO who gave really good raises. No room for growth at all. - Constant construction and expanding, but not dealing with the problems they currently have. You can tell employee sentiment is low when employees are suing left and right. You don't sue a company if you feel your valued. People are suing because Methodist makes you feel unvalued and unappreciated with ridiculous pay and worsening insurance. -Name no longer means a thing. It used to make you feel good to say I work at Methodist. Now, if you tell someone you work there, they laugh and say they would never work there.
