Pros

Good benefits, compensation is reasonable, the mission/values of the organization are laudable, and the company gives back to the community. Dr. Boutros seems to be taking MetroHealth in the right direction.

Cons

In my 5 years, I witnessed a pattern of poor hiring decisions in management within my department. Individuals with 10 years experience with MetroHealth were passed up for external candidates with only tangential work experience. This lead me to seek opportunities elsewhere. If you're looking for an organization where you can advance, this may not be the place for you. It definitely was not for me. I also rated culture and values low because, while the organization as a whole has a strong set of values, individual departments can be very toxic and have very competitive cultures. Dr. Boutros has taken huge steps to improve the culture of MetroHealth, but in many departments these changes are not being implemented. Also, something that should be noted - my former department has seen a 40% turnover rate within the last 12 months including the senior management level and 3 managers (one of the positions saw 3 changes within a year, with the two new hires both being external candidates).

Pros

Working for a Safety Net hospital system is a great cause! Home-spun management Working with doctors, clinicians, Sr executives, and C-suite is the best part

Cons

EPMO management is weak and ingrown, lacking experience with people, close-minded, and cannot discern second-handed information from fact. EPMO management does not empower their people. EPMO is openly Anti-Agile and non-collaborative, specifically reprimanding collaboration between departments. Leadership is lacking because EPMO manangement cannot get their focus off "self" and on to others. EPMO was a good organization when Sr management had direct oversight of the department. Since then, EPMO management is adolescent in its Capability Maturity Model Integration: Junior manager has less overall management and/or project experience than any single team member or peer, thus creating a non-supportive environment. Weakness: Manager title among VP peers puts EPMO at a disadvantage and weakens their voice in the organization. EPMO is further weakened by lack of promotion and recognition by Sr management/CIO across the organization so project managers must "fight" clients for the right to manage projects, creating an adversarial relationship.
