Pros

-competitive pay compared to industry -they have their own gym for employees at corporate office in LA that is extremely low cost -great exposure to community health, community based org -lots of developmental oppurtunities -org cares about employee engagement and does lots to promote this -education reimbursement after being with company for 1 year -lots of really bright people to be around -CEO is great, humble, down to earth -great community events (East LA meets Napa, Catrinas Unidas, annual employee meeting, etc)

Cons

-they will work you to the ground -if you are in an exempt position, good luck- you will be working well over 50 hours/week -very manager heavy- so many leaders across organization, leads to too many hands in the pot -needs greater alignment across org-too many departments work in silos -so many initiatives going on that don't necessarily align to where the organization is going-becomes difficult to talk about projects ROI- this is a problem for leadership -org is moving at a faster pace than they can handle -many people have been there for YEARS that are not necessarily qualified for the place that healthcare is in now-no longer qualified -many positions are grant funded/ contracted

Pros

Great health and dental insurance, and lots of opportunities to train. Good coworkers to lean on.

Cons

There are rarely any opportunities for part time positions, so most people end up stuck and aren't able to attend school full time unless they quit. A lot of favoritism and nepotism. If you bring up genuine concerns to management, they'll just spit out corporate policies instead of working on actual solutions to help employees and patients alike. Several employees have left due to burnout but management shames them for not being able to handle the huge workload.
