Pros
Free parking. Annual holiday meals for staff. While I did enjoy the little appreciation gifts throughout the year, those trinkets and snacks don’t pay the bills. That money should have been spent more wisely. My heart aches for the ancillary staff that are struggling financially.
Cons
Poor training. Unsafe ratios. All staff overworked and grossly underpaid. Raises that barely surpass COL increases (2.5%). Unaffordable insurance plans. HIGH staff turnover and large volume of travelers earning 2-3x regular staff RNs. You will be asked to sign a contract as a new grad; leaving before contract term will result in being billed for “cost of training.” Poor security measures. Most all physicians are awesome, few are unhinged and never reprimanded.
