Pros

This place has a great mission and legacy that draws good people. The people who work in operations and patient care -- nursing, allied health, etc. are focused and committed. And the administrators who come from, and manage, those areas are strong. The operations area has strong leaders who play nice with each other and try to do the right things for their employees.

Cons

The part of the organization that does not deliver patient care is a mess. The top exec is an awful leader and a troubled human being. After years of hiring in his own image, abusing people, and setting a bad example, many of the non-operations executives are as bad as he is. The exec group is huge and divisive. This creates confusion, conflict, and misbehavior throughout the organization.

Pros

-great managers -non-interpreting staff very familiar working with an interpreter -policies and expectations set for most situations -exceptionally developed department (which includes a senior director) relative to other hospitals, which often lack even a basic interpreting department

Cons

-work volume; often few breaks, definitely not enough to do anything other than work-related tasks (e.g., study for class, make a personal phone call) -inflexible schedule -work flow heavily dependent on coworker proactivity -leadership structure (managers over leads over interpreters) can result in micromanagment
