Pros

The self service feature within your employee profile. Sadly, this was the best "pro" that comes to mind.

Cons

Employees should expect to become a nameless, faceless #, whose input as well as existence are irrelevant. Focus is placed heavily upon following cookie cutter (and often illogical) protocol, rather than objectively assessing situations or areas individually which may not fit that mold, thus creating a counter productive and frustrating environment to successfully and diligently work within. Advancement opportunities are smothered by degree requirements for just about anything, including entry level and low paying positions with little to no consideration given for years of experience. Tenure, commitment and loyalty are not rewarded or valued. In fact, those traits makes you more vulnerable. Antiquated systems, processes and mentality. A very pass the buck type of environment with more rules, "teams" and "higher powers that be" who seemingly ultimately prove to have no actual skill or comprehension of how to truly fulfill the roles they were so undeservingly assigned based only by meeting the "on paper" requirements. Many of whom have no real experience or understanding of even the most basic foundations of the healthcare industry. Lack of accountability. High turnover. Low compensation. Lumped together earned personal time, which is stolen to cover all holidays which the company chooses to honor. No bonuses. Inflexibility and injustices abound, which only breeds resentment and a negative type of competitiveness amongst coworkers.

Pros

It's okay... I don't know how other ORs are run for comparison. Pay is alright. $47/hr and on-call is $8/hr. Have over 3 years of experience. Most people are pretty friendly. The friendly ones are starting to leave now, unfortunately.

Cons

Management doesn't fix problems. They won't respond to emails. Often don't have specimen printers, patient moving boards, etc. Tons of extra timeouts are kind of inconvenient (pre-op, pre-anesthesia, and pre-incision). Parking and commute are hassles. You can't park next to the hospital unless you are a doctor or advanced practitioner. At least 30min per day wasted on bus to and from hospital from parking tower I'm assigned. So much traffic to get to and from work. On call is very tiring. They frequently assign 7pm-7am overnight call right after 12hr shifts and then want you to stay because night shift didn't show up. Call requirement is at least 48hrs per month. Most OR rooms are super messy and badly stocked. ...Seems like more and more bad people are getting promoted to management positions. My immediate manager is good. The ones over her are not that great.
