Business outlook
Pros
People are here because they want to improve healthcare in America. Providence, Swedish, Kadlec, and PacMed each maintain their own brand & unique culture. Those in shared services functions (e.g. Finance, IT, HR) get to support multiple organizations and it's very similar to being in consulting as you're serving multiple groups and bringing forward best practices to each.
Cons
The amount of change in the industry is unlike any other. For some, this can be an added level of stress as it's uncommon for private industry. Just when you think you have something figured out, it's very likely that the organization has decided (or was required by external forces like the Affordable Care Act) to go in a new direction.
