Pros

None... no, really... absolutely NONE! Even if there were any pros, the cons far outweigh them! You can think I am exaggerating or being dramatic, but try working here and it won't take you long to see how accurate this review is.

Cons

Chronically understaffed because they can't keep their staff as they mistreat and under appreciate them constantly. Management is a joke, playing games to show their power... unless you're in their clique and hang out with them outside of work. Unprofessionalism everywhere. They hide when doctors do wrong to prevent malpractice and wrongful death suits. They manipulate the data to make themselves look good to meet government standards. Nurses are faced with enormous responsibility to advocate for their patients, fighting some doctors to do what is right for their patients (especially when patient is declining), while being underpaid, underappreciated, and assigned large assignments. Miserable place to work. Oh... and if they decide they don't like you, your manager will block you from transferring, your peers with spread rumors, they will cut your hours, and mess up your schedule so you're working almost every weekend. Not family oriented at all!

Pros

Good pay, benefits, time off, and they strive hard to make employees feel heard. Not afraid of change or doing something different. Definitely a lot of effort in turning feedback into action.

Cons

Corporate smothers the smaller offices. Way too big and everything is way too detailed to where nothing is easy to find or understand (policies change almost weekly). IT is outsourced and not helpful. Everything is cheap. Employees feel like pampered cattle. "Float" is only for bigger offices and isn't guaranteed. They will short staff you in a heart beat and tell you your burn out is "growing pains". Raises and bonuses are pathetic. Better compared to PHC, but when the CEO earns 6+ million every year and all we are given is $400 bonus and a 1% raise because we didn't reach impossible goals = not fair. 8-5 M-F is not ideal for healthcare. Bring back more Friday at noon hours.
