Pros

They pay for your vehicle payment, insurance and benefits are good, stock options awarded are nice even if you did not meet budget (EBITDA). This does not mean that their salary at the CEO level is comparable to other companies. Other comp. are paying $30-$60k more. They are doing well financially. Been around for 35 plus years and know how to make $ (stock quote is above 110 now).

Cons

They manage you on budget and FTE's like it was the end of the world. Every conversation with leaders is about filling beds at every cost even if you can't mange them = increased census, not patient care. Thus, ethics are in question. Clinical and Risk folks don't help, they give you more action plans then the federal govt. Horrible model of support. Just ties your team & your time up. Last, but not least, indoctrination and micro-management at Corp level. If you do not drink the UHS “kool-aid” your toast. In other words, you have to do exactly what they say, or they consider you a "problem," or "rogue" and they will walk you out (eventually). So, get in line. If top corp likes to keep their friends around and if you are friends with top dogs, then you are fine.

Pros

Overtime, Overtime, Overtime, Overtime, Overtime

Cons

Staffing turn around sucks because they can’t keep a certified nursing officer and the one they hired is on a high horse,favors staff and fires those he doesn’t favor when an opportunity arises. The dayshift supervisors also have favoritism and certain dayshift staff gets treated like gold and whatever they want compared to other shifts. Nursing management takes vacations to get away from admin and the CNOs wrath. And to top it off they fire staff for dumb reasons like asking to work a different unit for a break or having staff react to trauma of being assaulted by a patient. Staff gets abused here and admin doesn’t do a damn thing to correct the issue other then let staff go.
