Business Outlook

Pros

- good benefits - some really amazing coworkers (until they get laid off)

Cons

- constant re-orgs, and there's never a well thought out plan, so the people at the bottom are constantly being thrown into chaos - the quality of the leadership team decreases with each re-org; leaders are chosen based on favoritism, not on knowledge or skills - leaders have no commitment to patients or quality, they only care about lining their pockets - training sucks - people who actually care and try to make improvements are labeled complainers and are not given opportunities to advance, or they're laid off - hypocrisy, lies, gaslighting, double standards
