Pros
Large size company with locations in several different states and opportunities exist to transfer between hospitals. My experience is limited to the Phoenix metro area but I would like to say we have modern facilities with quality equipment to do our jobs.
Cons
Micromanagement can be a problem when 3 or 4 different managers have to talk to you about the same issue. Recently management has came up with "cost cutting measures" that are supposed to "guide the company through the country's economic downturn." The vast majority of these are cutting or eliminating employee benefits. Examples include cutting tuition reimbursement for employees who were not enrolled in a degree program prior to 2009, cutting how quickly employees that have been with the company more than 3 years accrue paid time off, eliminating the option of cashing out your earned paid time off, decreasing the amount of pay for short term disability, too much contracted labor (travel nurses, etc.) has recently become a problem when the regular staff members cannot even work their full time hours and have to use paid time off to receive a full paycheck.
