Pros

Night Shift Supervisors and fellow nurses are incredibly supportive. Great teamwork mentality.

Cons

Pay is low. Equipment is outdated and supplies are sometimes hard to come by. Administration sometimes implements new policies without consideration for how it impacts patient care. Not much room for advancement in nursing. Patients are VERY ill and many pass away adding to the stress of an already stressful job.

Pros

The people from Sr. Director down appear to really care about you as a person. The field staff work very hard due the fact that they love working with the families and patients.

Cons

VP and above are only worried about profit. The HR dept. spends all their time dealing with Employee Relationship issues or finding low cost employee benefit solutions. Tuition reimbursement is very low and the Executive's do not want to spend money on developing their employees at all levels. The Executive level is very greedy with their bonus and salary. At this level they should only be paid one or the other. The promise of 401K match is a joke. It will never happen with our greedy Executives. Turnover is huge in the field and now in the Support Center also. VP and above feel it is easy to replace a Sr. Director or below and do not care departments and the field are being stretched very thin.
