Pros

EMMC is the highest paying healthcare employer in the state.

Cons

The management is highly dysfunctional with high turn-over in management and staff positions. Despite the high pay and the presence of many highly-qualified RNs, management does not listen to the staff and problems compound instead of being constructively managed.
