Pros

Coworkers are great and working from home is nice.

Cons

Low morale. Stressful work. If your exempt, be prepared to work 12+ hours a day. Micromanaged, controlling what you do. So many administrative tasks you cant get your required work done. This job causes nothing but stress and anxiety. For being a hospital, benefits are awful. Pay is low
