Pros

Working at a place that helps other people.

Cons

Bad management, pure and simple with the 'new' leaders in place, and very bad treatment of many staff including nurses. Note: Anne McGuire is no longer the CEO. She was amazing. New CEO is not.

Pros

Salary, benefits, feel-good atmosphere, doing good work for good people, large place many employees, food on site. Many women in leadership.

Cons

Terrible leadership. Unethical and bullying CEO--where did she come from anyway? There are many women in leadership and they are terrible to their employees. This organization does not promote success or value hard work. They are very looks oriented and closed. It is nepotistic and loaded with favoritism. There are lots of cover ups. It is a defensive environment. Many people are hired on contracts and discarded like nothing. There is no structure or push for excellence. The culture is terrible. They eat their own. They have no value on long term employees. Communication is terrible. Perhaps it would be a good time to consider getting communications / branding lessons from the foundation.
