Pros

Pay differential after 3pm, from $13 -> $14 per hour. Overtime Available Great benefits- I have the highest insurance options and it's about $100 per paycheck Flexible Schedules PTO

Cons

I've worked here for three months and have to say I do feel like just a number. I understand that the Clinic employs thousands but, the nurse management on my floor needs to treat their nurses and aids as more than just a number. I pick up many shifts for overtime as it is time and a half and there is usually an incentive to pick up more hours but, the clinic often cancels my extra shifts as they do not want to pay the overtime for the position. Breaks are 30 minutes for lunch and you are supposed to get 2 15 minute breaks with a 12 hour shift but, the 15s almost never happen. There is a 2 year requirement per position, meaning you need to stay in the same position for 2 years before they'll let you transfer to a different floor or different position (even for clinical to non-clinical roles).

Pros

Health insurance and maternity benefits are great, though some people have been aggravated by the addition of a deductible in 2026. There is also decent tuition reimbursement, but you need to carefully read all of the policies as the wording can be tricky and even HR doesn't understand all of their own policies.

Cons

Pay seems inconsistent and raises are a joke, getting lower and later every year. PTO is decent but keep in mind that getting paid for holidays comes from that PTO and plan accordingly. HR is a complete JOKE! They never answer, don't seem to understand any of their policies, and have no idea what they are doing. It takes weeks to get ahold of anyone, and they are the farthest from helpful I've ever experienced. Retirement matching is based on years of service, they will put the money in the account but only vest after 3 years so don't count on the amount it shows unless you know 100% for sure you will be there more than 3 years.
