Vantaggi
Large healthcare system with ample opportunity to advance, if provided the right environment
Svantaggi
Leadership, at the level below the executive suite, at the Texas Medical Center campus tend burn out very quickly and the turnover is extremely high. Good, competent leaders are groomed but given too much work to be successful over a long term period, and burnout occurs. Turnover in many of the management positions is close to 70-80% over a 18-24 month period. It's generally accepted that you'll be paid competitively but will need to sacrifice work/life balance in order to remain at the organization. There's a mix of very good and very bad executives at the campus, with the highest turnover associated in areas managed by the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Human Resources Officer. The HR Department has turned over its staff several times, over the course of the last 7-10 years, as a result of the Chief HR Officer. Retention in the leadership roles within HR is extremely poor, with many choosing to leave voluntarily due to the poisonous environment. The organization is financially very healthy but runs very lean, with respect to both capital and human resources.
