Pros

Coworkers, Working Remote, Benefits, PTO

Cons

Management, Constant change. There is no work life balance. Management knows that the nurses have more than 8 hours of work. You are expected to clock out and finish your work off the clock. Nurses are on medical leave due to being overworked and stressed.

Pros

I enjoyed my immediate team.

Cons

With 30k+ employees, there is a LOT of red tape to dodge. You're left spending the majority of your time trying to prove your job's necessity, as there were regular rounds of layoffs while I was there. In fact, I was laid in the middle of my maternity leave as a result of a major round of layoffs. Though you might be hired on with a specific skill set/job description, they'll strategically give everyone similar titles, so that when it comes to layoffs, it is easier to justify. You're incredibly disposable, look for something else.
