Pros
I recently moved to Asheville for my job at Mission - relocating for a job is a scary prospect, but I could not be happier! Mission is a great place to work and I am so proud to say that I work here. Mission Health is a top 15 health system in the country and I can see why - they are constantly striving to be the best for our patients and community. The team that I joined is supportive and we are achieving great things together - feeling part of a team and the culture of an organization is important to me and I get that here. For an organization this size, I'm impressed with the communication - I've even attended a Ted Talk style information session presented by the CEO and I found this to be excellent - not many CEOs would take the time to let staff know what's happening and answer any question we had to throw at him. I came from an organization that kept everything "hush hush" and then all of a sudden we had huge lay-offs. I appreciate the transparency. Mission is also working towards becoming a best place to work and practice, which is something that impressed me about the organization when I was job hunting. I'm loving my job, my boss is the best, and I see lots of opportunity for my personal growth here.
Cons
The biggest con really does come from outside sources - with the environment of healthcare in th country, Mission is having to make changes at an extremely fast pace. This can sometimes become overwhelming and causes stress in the workplace, but I don't know that it is something that can be avoided.
