Be Careful

Registered nurse

Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing I can really say that is positive

Cons

They treat full time employees like cattle. The pay is poor, new RN’s make more than people with years experience. They raised the starting rate but never brought the RNs with years of experience up in pay, so new nurses make more than the ones that precept. Insane. All they care about is $$ and numbers, not about you.

Pros

The company is great, their benefits are amongst the best out there and they have a very comprehensive work/life balance.

Cons

They are in a recent merger and lots of changes going on; not bad just a little overwhelming at times.

Business Outlook

Pros

None. The money is not worth the heartache. Sorry I have nothing nice to say. It’s making me write at least 20 words, but I really have nothing nice to say.

Cons

Nepotism. Favoritism. Unequal treatment of employees. Management does not care about staff. You work your butt off and almost never get a break. Sure they pay ok, but not worth it when you leave there either wanting to cry or scream. Don’t get sick because they will threaten you or simply fire you. They are more worried about their imagine than actual patient satisfaction. Management is changing constantly. High ranking management from the department of patient care hired a family member who was previously fired and placed into a high management position, which he continually makes mistakes and doesn’t treat nurses in a way that is conducive to a good work environment. Actually, hostile working environment. Nurses are so stressed they treat each other badly.
