Pros
Great vision. Good flexible hours.
Cons
Inability to manage appropriately. Middle management stifles the forward movement progress that is needed. It was stated upon my arrival that "everyone holds everything close to their chest and likes to take credit for others work and accomplishments"...at the time, did not realize she was referring to herself. I saw red flags right from the start, when the NP was being setup for failure. They felt the need to apologize to me for their inappropriate discussion with her just 3 days into my job. As much as Sound's regional team say they are hiring you to make improvements with their programs, be careful...because the local folks are not on that same page. I heard too many times from the local team, in my short stay with Sound, that "the regional team does not need to know what is going on at the local level". Unfortunately, my direct report was w the regional team...so something about that just didn't set well. If considering a position with Sound...be very careful. Every week a corporate message goes out to all, which shows who is leaving the company and who is joining...80% of those messages showed more leaving than coming. One last thing...upon my arrival and as early as within the first week, the negative comments shared by the Sound 'team' re: the actual hospital staff and executive team was quite alarming. Because my antennae's were raised , I asked if I should be looking for another job...and the response was "you should always be looking...no one is safe here". Red flag after red flag.
