Pros

There are some very good people to work with and some good physicians.

Cons

There is a disrespect by the management towards their employees. The employees are treated in a demeaning manner. The management asks your opinions just as a formality. However, they do not really value your input. In fact if you disagree with their ideas, you are at times targeted and are at risk for being disciplined by them or losing your job. There have been several nurses terminated that were respected nurses because they stated their opinions about things when asked by management.. They did not like their voices and hence silenced them.. The HR department uses many tactics to dismiss employees. They do not value diversity or difference of ideas. The administration and managers run a nazi-prison type camp ... The hospital does make money and most goes to the doctors and management. The rest of the workers receive small raises and little thanks. The hospital recently decreased the top out for nurses and it is several dollars less then the original top out pay. There has been no cost of living raises for years-- though the cost of living has increased, There is not much value placed on experience of their employees because they cost more.. So, to them a nurse is a nurse, or respiratory therapist a respiratory therapist. Difficult working environment --actually hostile environment .

Pros

There some flexibility with scheduling and they let you pick up as many shifts as you want and pretty much your own schedule.

Cons

Very poorly managed, chronically understaffed but managers are dismissive and deny it. The support from staff is inconsistent, the staff nurses are either fresh new grads or very bitter nurses who don’t want to help and expect you to handle everything by yourself as a tech. Most nurses here are PRN’s on contracts that get floated so it’s really hard to expect consistency in the staff you work with and build trusting relationships. Management will promise to train you as a unit secretary but will never follow up. They also agree to help you get opportunities for learning and growth but refuse to follow up or forget about it altogether, despite reminders. It’s not a priority. If your goal is to grow and learn more this is not the place. It’s running on fumes at 95% of the time. Very high turnover, we struggle to keep staff. They’ll call you in to pick up when they’re understaffed with no incentive or something minimal like “swag” (some gear). Very poorly compensated and you will not be appreciated for the hard work you do. Also it took 2 months for them to get me started despite numerous attempts to reach the HR, Management etc.
