Pros

Once you get hired you are solid with their IT department. You really have to go out of your way tto get fired.

Cons

There is a reason turnover rate is so high. Employees are not valued once hired. Opinions should be the same as management. Outside the box thinking is not encouraged. Nepotism runs rampant. Most if not all promotions are hired outside and rarely promotions are done within unless you're a buddy or family member.Get all you can during hiring process because you will be stuck at that pay with minor increases for the remainder. Very kneejerk reactive to most issues. Very little of the planning ahead of time for projects gets implemented because the communication is limited. This is a very silo'd workplace. THe left hand has absolutely no clue what the right hand is doing wasting lots of man hours and money. This is an efficiency experts "Wet Dream". Lots of money to be made by evaluating and refining basic implementations. There is very little that will change because all upper level management are buddies. Micromanagment is comical. Several people telling you different ways to do something they dont fully understand themselves. The expectation is "You should know what to do because.....well because you should just know". This makes for a very arrogant and ignorant workplace. This is not a good combination. I think this is still a great place to work with all the cons because there are a lot of really great intelligent people trying to make a difference. They are just being held at bay by people in the wrong position with not enough knowldege, and a fear someone might make them look bad.

Pros

The pay, the schedule flexibility, and the employee benefits. The focus on teamwork is excellent at this hospital. We had such an amazing team on our floor. The new RN internship program was also a great experience to go through. Quality patient care.

Cons

Patient satisfaction here is HUGE. I definitely understand what it means for ratings and what not, but it sometimes gets in the way of providing care. Patients are made to feel like this a 5 star hotel instead of a hospital...Nurses end up running around trying to fetch all kinds of things to please patients when they could be providing care, charting, or helping a fellow nurse. It's a little messed up. Our unit was almost always short staffed so we were often forced to accept more patients than we needed to. The ratio was supposed to be 1:5 at most but we would sometimes go up to 1:6. It didn't happen ALL the time but when it did, it was very stressful and it felt unsafe. Also, If you do the RN internship program you have to sign a 2 year contract. If you break it immediately after the internship you have to pay over $4000! It's prorated the longer you stay during those 2 years. That's a big decision to make because you never know what will happen in life.
