Pros
Decent insurance benefits, matches some retirement contributions, decent PTO, and had tuition reimbursement when I left. Pay is average for the area, but as always it’s never enough for the work they ask you to do or the change in cost of living across Central Florida. The organization is large and is the lesser of two healthcare evils in the area. They are involved in the community they serve and frequently sponsor health and non-health related events. They care about providing cutting edge and research based care to their community. Most team members are friendly and you can build long lasting relationships with them. Just switched to EPIC charting system.
Cons
I’ve had managers here who didn’t support or help with career advancement, even when it would involve staying within the organization. The hospitals in this organization are chronically short staffed for every position. Recently the organization made drastic changes to “help” with time and attendance (aka made it easier to fire people if they’re late or have to call in sick) following covid and staffing shortages - which really just made more people leave and left remaining staff even more short handed. Organization pulled a lot of shady stuff to fire people following covid when they were trying to cut costs (they looked back in some peoples files 7 years for things). Always asking nurses to do more without increasing compensation, amount of staff, or resources. Resident program can be a mess from time to time and it’s usually always the same problem with different people year after year, with nothing done to prevent the issues from coming up in the first place.
