Pros

Enjoyed working there, the doctors I worked with easy to get along with for the most part. The new OR is state of the art. If you are new to the field you should have a good length of time to train and get to specialize in a few areas. For techs just learning the doctors ask for items and are a little slower since they are usually teaching. Insurance is really, really affordable and is the reason I took less pay to work there.

Cons

Alot of different students and residents to work around and with, have to watch the sterile field closely. It can be a bit of a slow pace. New residents and students and having to keep an eye on them and the sterile field closely. Not often but certain foreign med students seem to look down on nurses and techs, didn't encounter this with local students. Pay is lower than other hospitals and raises are strictly once of year if you get one from government.

Pros

Good benefits, consistent hours and work, holiday pay. Great co-workers but the leads were more approachable than upper management.

Cons

It's a lot of who you know and not what you know. There is a lot of hand waving with any issues you bring up and management may target you for any small reason. Beware of Management, they can go on a power trip. One or more members of upper management can block progress if you ever plan on moving out of the department. Pay is behind the times and your reviews will never match your output. Manager is not approachable but wants you to go to them before you tell anyone else. If you see something, you're better off either not saying anything or reporting it anonymously. Very political, lots of favoritism.
