Pros

RIC Is clean. They pay the housekeepers just enough to clean the areas for families to come visit. It's also a healthy community where everyone keeps to themselves but has friends. The bosses are relatively friendly and welcome their new workers. Patients families will sometimes bring gifts or money. You see your favorite patients thank you for helping them through their journey.

Cons

Despite the new building that's come next year, 2017, and an influx of donations, they refuse to pay their healthcare professionals more. Many workers have left to Northwestern as their bonuses are better. In fact, RIC Spent $500 million on a new building and even had the nerve to ask their workers for donations. They spent not one dime on its employees. The main goal was to prevent from paying more for Northwesterns garage because we sold ours for Chicago to build a new apartment building. The majority of working single moms with children who they work hard to provide for. While we get cheap gifts like a speaker or hats, Northwestern Hospital gives out $500. The patients will regularly call you fatophic, transphobic, racist, sexist, or homophobic slurs because most are handicapped and will never enjoy the same movements as you and I will. The doctors believe they are better than the nurses, PCT, and CNA's despite the latter doing more work than the actual doctors. You will defiantly see someone die and become heavily depressed due to the news that their condition will never change. It's a very emotional job as you will have a minimum of 10 patients, which I guarantee only 40% will leave during your time there. Even if you're not involved with nursing but housekeeping, it can become really dirty.

Pros

Great co-workers, lots of speciality services to refer to and learn from including assistive technology, Wheelchair room, prosthetics & orthotics

Cons

Large corporation that doesn't always value the time of the employee including mandatory meetings over lunch or after hours, limited face time or approachability to anyone who actually has control over the day to day work environment. Often time middle management and no control and upper management seems to have limited understanding of daily life on the floor needs / desires of patients and clinicians.
