Pros

The system is large so there is the ability to go from hospital to hospital for growth.

Cons

The leadership at Cobb hospital is horrendous. They are straight up abusive to nursing staff and lead with a punitive/bullying culture. I’ve worked here for over 4 years and now need to look for alternative employment. The culture has gotten significantly worse with new c suite in the last 2 years. This could be a great place but the culture will never get better with the leaders here now. I am very sad to have to leave and do not recommend this hospital to anyone looking for work.

Pros

Diversified Varied shifts Diversified Varied locations

Cons

Games get played with promotions!!! Job descriptions are changed to allow certain people into positions then changed back. Regardless of tenure, one can be passed up for promotions because the "powers that be" want a particular person in a role that is a "yes man/woman" instead of someone more qualified. People have even been promoted into director roles without having a degree and/or little to no experience vs someone with a degree or years of experience. Raises are not fairly given. Again, tenure does not matter. Compensation needs to bring positions and salaries up to the current market value, Work life balance is a joke!!!!
