Pros

Very good new grad program for nurses and lots of opportunities to do and see a lot. Supportive culture from colleagues and leadership (managers, charge nurses) Good job mobility. Good protocols for patient care, overall the medical care here is very good here.

Cons

Building is run-down and patient rooms aren't great. Things are very chaotic and constantly busy, lots of breaks get missed. Understaffed, aides overworked so ADLs are sometimes skipped. The doctors and nurses don't communicate with each other much. Low pay.

Pros

Workplace Culture and Team Collaboration: Many employees appreciate the supportive, family-like atmosphere and strong teamwork within their teams and across departments. They value the camaraderie, inclusivity, and mutual respect that foster a positive work environment focused on patient care. Meaningful Work and Patient Impact: Employees find motivation and satisfaction in knowing their work directly or indirectly improves patient care and community health. This sense of purpose is a significant driver of engagement.

Cons

Degree Requirements and Career Advancement: Many employees express concern that strict degree requirements, especially for IT roles, hinder career progression and demoralize experienced staff without degrees. There is a strong preference for recognizing equivalent experience or certifications in lieu of formal degrees to promote internal mobility and retain talent.
