Cons
Employee Morale is very low; you never hear from your manager unless it's to tell you, that you did something wrong. In-services, staff parties, and other events are centered around weekday day shifts schedule. This portrays the picture that that shift is all who matters. Lack of advancement opportunities. No pay raises or very little, 1%, management staff do not get cost of living increases when the rest of the employees do, and lack of clear cut answers when asked about employment and/or pay questions. HR refers you to you're manager, who then does not reply. No pay raises with advanced RN education such as BSN. Admissions is not screening patients except by phone. We have a lot of psych patients with nurses who lack psych training. The admissions team lacks compassion and moves patients at their whim, like they are playing chess with patients. There is a lack of staff, causing us to use a lot of temp employees who do not provide the same standard of care as an employee, the staff has to then cover more than their share of work to assure the patients being cared for by a temp staff member are being cared for.
