Pros

Many frontline staff are compassionate, mission‑driven, and truly care about patients. Opportunities to learn new skills if you advocate for yourself. System‑wide resources and benefits are solid when utilized.

Cons

Micromanagement is a major issue in certain departments, creating a culture of fear instead of support. Leadership often focuses on controlling small tasks rather than empowering staff to do their jobs. Work‑life balance is poor. Frequent last‑minute schedule changes and inconsistent expectations make it difficult to plan your life outside of work. Communication from leadership is inconsistent and often unprofessional. Instead of addressing concerns directly with employees, some leaders speak negatively about staff, which damages morale and trust. Ethics and integrity concerns. Decisions are sometimes made based on favoritism or personal relationships rather than fairness or policy. High turnover in the North Fulton region, which leadership has not meaningfully addressed despite ongoing patterns.

Pros

Diversified Varied shifts Diversified Varied locations

Cons

Games get played with promotions!!! Job descriptions are changed to allow certain people into positions then changed back. Regardless of tenure, one can be passed up for promotions because the "powers that be" want a particular person in a role that is a "yes man/woman" instead of someone more qualified. People have even been promoted into director roles without having a degree and/or little to no experience vs someone with a degree or years of experience. Raises are not fairly given. Again, tenure does not matter. Compensation needs to bring positions and salaries up to the current market value, Work life balance is a joke!!!!
