Pros

I can say that they have the BEST medical/dental/vision insurance policies of any organization where I've worked, in Memphis. The Administration at SJ really wants all employees to have work/life balance. To assist employees with this, they have a first class gym, on campus, with free membership to all employees. They offer group exercise programs or, you may choose to take an afternoon bike ride with other employees. And, the best surprise of all, we will occasionally receive "additional" days off on major holidays. Since Christmas is on a Monday this year (2017) we were also given the Friday prior as an additional holiday. And, they just increased the amount of vacation you get!

Cons

Wow, I cannot think of any cons about working at SJ. When I first began working at SJ, it sometimes would upset me if I saw a sick child. Now, after fully understanding the mission and seeing the ongoing efforts the doctors and researchers, I know SJ is the BEST place for the children facing these challenges.

Pros

Strong mission, good institutional reputation, and attractive benefits package.

Cons

The hiring process felt inconsistent with the flexibility and compensation expectations communicated earlier in recruiter screening. While flexibility and work arrangement options were emphasized throughout the process, there appeared to be very limited actual flexibility once the formal offer stage began. Compensation and advancement also are heavily constrained by rigid internal structures and comparisons between existing employees, which means the growth opportunities depend more on internal hierarchy and tenure than on individual performance, experience, or market value.
