Low morale, but still helping patients!

Pros

Fair wages, great benefits -- you can feel good about yourself working here! Mid level managers still seem to care about what's going on.

Cons

It's a struggle. Rules are getting more stringent. More perks being taken away. Morale is suffering. Intensified feeling that senior management is either incompetent, doesn't care, or both. "Best places to work" billboard on 101 was put up the day after massive layoffs.
