      Pros

      I worked with some great people, which is the only reason I gave it two stars instead of one. Serving patients is meaningful if you're a position to actually do that and see the impact of your work. Team members and some leaders are great.

      Cons

      Employees are pawns. Downsizing happens the third Thursday of most months and employee cost is seen as the quickest and easiest way to reduce spending. You might be let go in a virtual meeting by a stranger after many years of service. Health insurance also sucks.
