Approves of CEOI have been working at Vanderbilt University Medical Center full-time for more than 6 years
Pros
Benefits themselves aren't bad; great networking opportunities if you pursue them; ability to work with amazingly talented physicians, professionals, etc. If you have experience, your salary is meant to be calculated on your relevant experience- not necessarily your job title.
Cons
Salary- if you have a position the only way to really move up in ranking is to "reclassify" your position (for example a Coordinator I to a Coordinator II). HR is strict on reclassifying employees and you essentially have to prove that you've already been doing the position you are reclassifying for. The other way is to apply for a completing different position within VUMC (new department, boss, etc.).
Advice to Management
To keep loyal employees (not just physicians and professors) there needs to be a better system for promotion and salary increases. People can't sustain a life in a growing city like Nashville with the salary ranges.

Pros
4, 10 hour work days with 3 days off. No weekends. Great benefits.
Cons
Low pay for industry. Poor management style. Outlying clinics make their own rules that differ from VUMC rules and orientation.
Advice to Management
Discontinue leading via email. Outlying clinics should comply with VUMC employment guidelines.
