      Pros

      Awesome team work between nurses and support staff Great pay Decent work load Great hours(12hr shifts) Overtime available Free bus pass for the duration of your employment UWHC is a great place to work-but only if you're on the right unit(s) Rarely ran out of supplies

      Cons

      TERRIBLE MANAGER!!! Difficult patients/patient load at times Made to feel incompetent, and belittled Singled out and hunted if manager didn't like you or you disagreed with her Way too much favoritism Unless you park off-site and take the bus, parking is HORRENDOUS to pay for, employees should NEVER have to pay to come to work

      Frustrating trying to get time off that has been earned when there is not enough coverage for vacations.

      Pros

      Great people to work with, opportunity to make a difference in someone's life through better health care and education.

      Cons

      Mid-level management not always as professional as I have been accustomed to in past work experiences. Difficult to get clear direction on expectations, depends on whom you are talking with at the moment.

      Pros

      Fair treatment, good benefits, coworkers can be excellent but it is hit-or-miss depending on: the department you are working in, your managing clinician, your scheduler.

      Cons

      Unless you're a manager or a physician, your job is very robotic. You will be doing more or less the same exact thing every day you work. There may be an unexpected surprise along the way but...it's really just the same ol' thang with a different flavor put on top. There is little recognition for performance. If you are efficient, your reward will just be picking up the slack for others around you. Finally, if you are spending time among nurses, brace yourself (heavily) for endless banter about upcoming weddings and babies. It's like working among housewives who happened to get a job.
