      Pros

      Good health benefits, great employees who care about patients

      Cons

      It's about who you know if you want to move up the ladder or stay employed. There is a lack of transparency and communication from upper management. All this 'regionalization' means lack of localization in the communities that the affiliates serve. We've lost touch with the local community.

            Excellent medical benefits, great team with opportunities for promotion...there were always multiple options for increased training. Strong leadership and open door policies.

            Cons

            Some lack of communication between upper management and staff lead to misunderstandings.

              Pros

              I find some of the people I work with to be friendly and empathetic. Parts of the organization try to keep a patient centered approach to management.

              Cons

              Ignorance appears to be a hiring requirement. Lack of communication and understanding throughout the management line. Many employees who could not find opportunities at other health organizations. Lack of standards in hiring practices. Lack of respect for expertise. A company that top down only superficially looks like a NPC. Clinical management bodies have little power over financial interests.

                Pros

                - Smart, talented, and sociable colleagues at the analyst level. - Reasonable health benefits (expected from a company in the healthcare industry) - Reasonable work/life balance; has a culture that doesn't impose overtime - Flexible in granting PTO requests

                Cons

                - low pay for the job expectations and responsibilities - fosters a culture of distrust and blame that detracts from teamwork; emphasis on CYA - inexperienced supervisors/management - continued attrition and lack of management intervention or communication on the subject - redundant, inconsistent processes that add/detract from productivity - lack and inconsistent communication among leadership, management, and other teams - under utilization and mismanagement of resources

                  Pros

                  The salary and benefits package is great. Plenty of access to and communication from senior leaders. Ability to transfer between locations and stay with the company is good.

                  Cons

                  While promotion is from within-getting noticed can be a challenge. Certain facilities seem to get a lot of attention and others don't.

                    Pros

                    Its a great place IF and that's a bit IF you are within the Golden Circle. If not, management will make your life a living hell. The "Pro" is only if you are in that Golden Circle.

                    Cons

                    Way too many to list, however - lack of communication and clear direction is a huge problem.

                      1. What to do if you cannot provide your manager or other leaders as references from your previous workplace? 2. How to answer interview Qs about my previous workplace or manager? For the context! I worked for a workplace for 8-9 months. But, there were ethical issues from the side of leaders including my manager, and senior employees that made me quit my job. Also, many leaders & senior coworkers were either fired or quit their jobs a few months after I did. Thanks in advance!

                      Has anyone ever been called back for a job they were first rejected from only to be rejected again? Does this happen often?

                      VP of Sales/director of Business Development

                      During the first screening interview I have been asked at times about my job search status and if I am talking to others. While this is probably a question they have no right to ask, I wonder if there is a right or wrong answer. If I say I am interviewing with 2-3 companies, they may feel it is not worth the extra effort to continue the discussion. If I say I am not actively interviewing, it may be a negative sign. Any idea about where they are coming from? (WFH & free agent for a while)
