Pros
The HR team is fantastic. I had to manage a very difficult personal matter, and they were amazing. They were with me every step of the way and accommodated me as much as possible. Benefits used to be amazing - free prescription fills, exceedingly cheap doctor visits (with Montefiore doctors), free surgery as needed. It's still much better than most health plans and pharmacies, but every year they seem to further restrict the benefits or add on higher copays. The upside of bad management is that periodically, you can end up working under something of a 'rogue' manager who fights to get the right things done. GREAT Paid Time Off policies
Cons
Benefits that used to be excellent are rapidly being stripped away, but pay has not increased to compensate for loss of benefits Extremely difficult to get a raise (either parity raise when you move positions, or even annual raises/bonuses). The company frequently declares moratoriums on raises, despite the fact that their parent company, Montefiore, is regularly acquiring more hospitals Management can be exceedingly frustrating/difficult, and even childish/pedantic. There are people who are managers/directors who appear to have no actual qualifications for the positions they are in, as they don't actually know the field/department they manage. There's absolutely no room for advancement unless you have a manager that actively fights for you. Even then, your raises and promotions are subject to the whims of a board of people who may never have even met you, let alone really worked with you and understand your contributions and what assets you have. Subject employees to illegal unpaid overtime They deem all employees as "critical," so in the event of foul weather, everyone is REQUIRED to make it into work. If you don't, you lose a day of PTO, and management may decide to hold it against you/call it an unexcused absence.
