There is not any cons

As a new person, training has been subpar. Trainers are not thorough and lack passion to train, ultimately setting you up for failure. The staff, management and coworkers are a toss up organization wize. There is no sense of structure, esp im my dept, of mental health. Mental health is only priority for patients, not staff. People may lie and get away without completing tasks. The management gives little support. Not impartial and finding out what really happened. I felt like I wasnt appreciated nor my coworkers by uppers, bc there was always a new problem with the politics and mgmt. Its always short staffed and turnover is a huge issue, bc job is stressful. People do not treat others with respect. Managers are under pressure so they are not happy. Management piles on more workload for already stressed staff. Rare occurences of appreciation for job well done from mgmt. Too many moving parts. The company budget takes priority. Staffing is a burden and stress for the charge nurses. It is teaching hospital... Everyone is stressed out and walking on eggshells. Some coworkers are in an unhealthy competition mode when they dont have to be. Only way to get teamwork is by being in a clique. Some of the older staff who've been there longer are set in their ways instead of keeping up to date with new practices. Staff take things too personally and unhealthy boundaries abound. Professionalism is close to nonexistent, coworkers can be mean and unprofessional. Some coworkers are not genuine and prefer to play favorite than to help out the whole team. Work culture here can be fake. Techs are lazy, talk back and want you to do their job, every day seems like. Just do your job as you were paid to do. ER techs I notice are better though. Older nurses are complacent and do bare minimum expecting you to do them a favour even with your own workload. One nurse there had a huge anger problem and would constantly say things in a 'raised tone'. If you hate your job then quit. But people are stuck in golden handcuffs. Lot of people are not geinine. I suggest to newcomers, to ask about the turnover rate in your dept and if it is high, really ask about why noone is staying there. Really think about that high turnover rate, and percentage of staff happiness. And lastly traffic, you have to fight thru the traffic in your 45 min commute to and from work :/. If you want to be on time and live out of city, you have to go into work at least an hour ahead, wasting 1.5 to 2 hrs of your life. Life is too short to be stressed out all the time, esp on an environment you cant control. We spend 40 hrs or more at our workplaces, please choose wisely, you have to bend backwards too much and change your character to work here, no thanks. From former employee. The day I left, I didnt shed a tear, hahah, and was surprisingly smiling inside. Dont subject yourself too long to places like this. Learn to not need $ and be greedy so you can have the choice of working where you like, in a good environment with good people, instead of the people here, whos mental health degrade the more they work, becoming complacent, hating their job, hating their life, becoming scrooges, and doing things and living life only for the money. I know you are better.
