Advice to Senior Management

When employees bring up an issue to management, it is expected that management would put every effort into resolving the issue. I have not seen this during my time here at Partners. Instead, issues are pushed aside, and it just becomes a reoccuring issue, which leads to employees becoming dissatisfied with their jobs.

Pros

good work environment, there is not much stress

Cons

not much help provided by others. consultants are treated as outsiders and not included organization and faculty events. Any mistake is highlighted to all upper management to observe but good work is not appreciated.

Advice to Senior Management

treat all employees consultants and permanent equally

Pros

Very smart people around you. Very focused towards the ultimate goal of increasing process efficiency and making good customer rapport.

Cons

Sometimes, they don't care about employees work in the sense that proper direction is not provided to get the results.

Advice to Senior Management

Could have interactive activities on Fridays, Light Thursdays often. Managers should have an open door policy where subordinates feel free to ask questions.

Pros

Good IS Support, good resources, great patient care, great outcomes. Good infrastructure. able to transfer from one unit to another.

Centralize the policies and procedures. Give better pay for work done. Offer better financial planning. Offer employee awards for performance.

Pros

The intern program included a lot of educational activities and opportunities to meet various leaders through out the organization.
Managers were very helpful and I received plenty of constructive feedback that helped me professionally.
I was treated like an equal within my department, rather than just an intern.

Cons

Such a large organization, it felt disconnected at times
Everyone was very busy, so it was difficult to find a time to meet with my manager or have my questions answered - more of an individual environment where you have to be self-motivated. This makes it easy to go unnoticed.

Pros

Can purchase extra vacation days
Great benefits
Great location

Cons

Favoritism for certain employees
No raises when economy is bad

Pros

Great Benefits, Compensation, Work Environment, Diverse

Too Big, Location, Lack of opportunities to advance

Pros

As a hospital system, the medical benefits are outstanding. All of my managers were strongly dedicated to my success and growth at Partners (and beyond).

Many of the positions are quite heavily focused, and this can be difficult for anyone looking for a broad range of experiences. Other managers can be shortsighted and unwilling to assist anyone hoping to advance.
