Pros

The benefits are amazing. Health insurance, life insurance,dental, and other benefits are very affordable.

Cons

Very high turn overs. Poor structure and boundaries amongst the employees and mangers. The call out/ tardy policy is ridiculous. If you are not admitted to a hospital, Calling out and leaving early will counted against you with a doctors note. If you are in a position to serve employees and patients, expect the worst from your fellow coworkers. I have regularly experienced nasty attitudes, rude comments, and complaints from my coworkers. They will make the most ridiculous requests and expect you to do it. If you do not oblige, expect an email to go to your manager. The managers usually will not your side. Even if the request is something you have no control or authority to satisfy their request. They will do their best to underpay you. Before I was rehired, I have applied for a position at a higher rate and was denied it but was hired on for a different position at a lower rate and I still end up doing the position I originally applied for a few days out of the week and was not properly compensatedas stated in their policies.From my experience , If you are injured on the job and return with limitations, the managers do not abide by your limitations. Even if you bring it to their attention multiple times, they just brush you off.

Pros

Higher pay rate than Alabama.

Cons

Relocation bonus is bogus. Relocation bonus did not assist with any moving cost what so ever. The night shift charge nurse was no help on my first day off orientation. I was body shamed for wearing a scrub jumpsuit to work. The CNO always came to me with complaints but never followed up with me regarding my experience as a new employee at this company. ER doesn’t call report before they transfer patients to the floor. Patients have come to the floor with orders for a heparin drip and they haven’t even drawn the baseline anti-xa lab or even attempted to start the heparin drip. The nurses don’t even know how to do IVs or draw labs during a rapid situation. They show favoritism. They lie and assassinate peoples character. It is a very toxic work environment. They give the first admission to agency/travel nurses and new hire nurses. They’ll float a full time nurse more than once and let an agency nurse stay. They’ll adjust the assignment to benefit certain nurses. The CNO is stereotypical and is untrustworthy. They will tell you to leave and turn your badge in but still keep you on the schedule to make it seem like you abandoned your job. If you submit your concerns to HR, they never respond. Their insurance only covers Wellstar facilities. If you want to be treated at another hospital outside of Wellstar, your insurance will not cover it, even if you chose the highest insurance policy. Even though I was full time and only supposed to work every other weekend, the CNO made me work every weekend to accommodate her senior employees.
