Pros
HCA has unrivaled reach and scope in healthcare which means that when you can make improvements, you can really make a difference at a national level. HCA has a very steady environment where moderate competence can ensure prolonged employment and eventual career advancement.
Cons
The size of HCA combined with the particularities of the healthcare industry make progress and improvement difficult. In addition the steady work environment leads to lesser skilled individuals remaining and eventually being promoted while more skilled individuals leave for more progressive organizations. Overall, entrenchment can be a big problem.
