Pros

Some coworkers were supportive, hardworking, and genuinely cared about patients and each other during difficult circumstances.

Cons

My experience was deeply disappointing. I dealt with unfair workload expectations, unequal treatment, and a workplace culture that did not feel supportive or fair. When concerns were raised, HR and Ethics did not feel like resources for employees. Instead, they seemed more focused on protecting the organization than addressing legitimate staff concerns. Long-term contributions did not feel valued, communication was poor, and leadership appeared disconnected from the day-to-day reality employees were carrying. For a large institution, the retirement and long-term benefits were also disappointing and did not feel competitive.

Pros

Great organization to grow professionally in healthcare operations. Strong focus on patient care, quality, innovation, and leadership development. I’ve gained valuable experience in physician support, operations, workflow improvement, and cross-functional collaboration while working with talented teams and leaders.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with high expectations and increasing responsibilities. At times, leadership roles can feel under-titled compared to the level of operational work being performed. Work-life balance can also be challenging during staffing shortages, major initiatives, or clinic transitions.
