      I have been working at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center full-time

      Pros

      It's a safety net hospital so most of the patients are in need and don't have a good support system

      Cons

      The senior leadership doesn't seem to be immersed with the employees so that changes stick and are effective.

      Advice to Management

      Be present at meetings and support initiatives. Walk around and be seen not just planned rounding. There is no accountability for answering emails and following through.
