Cons
Salary was always lowest in the area. Played salary compensation games with the local hospitals.
Started the seemingly almost-annual restructuring model - getting rid of highly paid, competent individuals and replacing with less experienced lower paid people resulting in immature decision making. Of course not right away, that would be obvious. Call it restructuring then within 2 years hire new people into slightly relabeled positions doing the same/similar work at a lower cost.
