Pros

If you have a sick loved one they have some of the best treatments around. The health insurance provided is some of the best around.

Cons

Staff is difficult to work with, lazy, does the bare minimum. Manager is not a strong leader, she would rather have a bunch of useless, lazy people working, than be short staff with quality employees. Here your just a number.
