Pros

You have a job and your coworkers genuinely care about you, so long as you drink Kool-Aid and assimilate. There really are people who care about patients, their lives, and their families' lives. This place excels in the work/life balance department. Occasional get-togethers for employees and organization funded picnics.

Cons

Executives make exorbitant salaries that are unnecessary and the way they pay for them is from taking away the benefits from the workers. The "good ol' boy" system is in full effect here. Back door / Closed door agreements. Executives are more concerned with dancing and making public appearances than the actual overall health of the organization with regard to the employees. They do a survey every year and a "bonus" of $1100 is given if it is within a top percentage, so they will never get honest opinions because nobody believes it is "anonymous" when you have to enter your employee number and birthdate to even take the survey. The survey is so they can tout that they are "top" in the business in employee satisfaction according to a publication. Employee health benefits are atrociously poor when compared to other companies and the high deductibles and out-of-pocket costs are astronomical so it's not like having health benefits gets you anything. The employee retirement plan is horrible because the company investment matching is unbelievably low. Advancement is based on how well you know someone who can help you and not based on work merits, awards, or excellence.

Pros

none, they preach its all about the staff while giving us 0.50 raises per year, and the CEO gets 6 figure bonuses while we worked short staffed with combative patients getting assaulted and asked what we could do different so the crazy patient would not have assaulted us

Cons

pay was low, benefits were awful, could not use PTO when needed, abusive patients with no recourse
