Pros

If you're a smart, hard-working go-getter, in it for yourself, and mind your own business, you can do very well here. They pay very well, and you can learn a lot about healthcare.

Cons

You are treated as a cog in a machine. They keep you as long as you are useful, and when you cease to be useful, they get rid of you.

There are a lot of politics: If you cross someone in power, they will make your life miserable to push you out.

You are always on call and leadership has very little training in terms of leading and building teams.

As far as "Diversity and Inclusion" -- they are diverse only in the ways which suit them.

Also, the technical skills I learned here did not translate well to the wider world of development outside of healthcare. The things they are doing are either unique to healthcare or wildly outdated.

Advice to Management

Remember that your employees are human beings.
