Pros

Work life balance is focused on and given more than lip service. You can provide clinical service and also make your path in teaching, leadership or research. The company makes good financial decisions for the organization.

Cons

Lacks diversity and has a blind spot for bias.

Pros

WRS that is it if you can stand to work there to actually get it.

Cons

LEADERSHIP is HIGHLY unqualified for their roles, most of them have slept their way to the top, or intimidate everyone to get where they are in their incompetent unqualified roles. If you know more than your superiors about anything, they create "fake" evidence to fire you. It is not the prestigious place it once was, very sad and leadership knows it ,which is why they are fighting the nurses union at every cost. GO ANYWHERE ELSE
