Pros
Company is very loyal. When a department is relocated or dissolved, they find internal positions in other departments for those who want to stay. Lots of affiliates means lots of job opportunities if you want to do something else within the company. Patient care is the priority over profit Employees are involved in interviewing potential new hires, helping ensure they'll mesh with the group Company is growing and hiring
Cons
Since 2008 they've cut some part of the benefits package every year, ended the profit-sharing bonus and reduced COL raises Politics are horrible between regions, with executives frequently acting immaturely and vengeful towards other executvies Under-performing employees or those in positions they can't handle are dealt with in any way Promotions are based on favoritism over merit Virtually impossible to get more than a 3% COL raise, regardless of performance. The only way to really raise your compensation is to change jobs within the organization No training is provided. When you take on a new responsibility, you're expected to just figure it out on your own
