Pros

Great camaraderie among staff (sort of how abused children bond together)

Cons

The executive leadership rules through fear and intimidation. This is from the very top down, and permeates throughout the rank and file employees. Jim Cole (CEO) is terrified of John Garrett (Board Chair); the VPs are terrified of Jim Cole; the CNO (Darlene) is a liar and a bully, etc. I have never seen a hospital with such turnover. Even at the Manager and Director level, people just "disappear". Some are fired, and some just walk out. Unfortunately those are the ones that actually speak truth to power - the bad leadership stays for decades!

Pros

Quarterly PTO is the ONLY best thing.

Cons

My employment here has been a nightmare. Leadership has no accountability and they’re bullies. This place has a serious known racism issue that needs to be addressed IMMEDIATELY. We are always short staffed and it is a revolving door. The department is more ran by staff members who are buddy buddy with leadership. Very unorganized and unprofessional. I see people get positions handed to them, that they clearly do not qualify for - which is unfair. Health insurance is expensive and not worth it. Patients come in the office and do whatever they want which causes disruption. I’ve taken concerns to upper management and just very dismissive.
