Pros

Low insurance rates. Benefits for 401k, life insurance, and tuition reimbursement are good. Some of the supervisors are good to work with.

Cons

Management not in touch with employees. Manager makes excuses for all the employees leaving. HR received many complaints from several staff but same issues continue. Bully environment, staff being yelled at, verbal abuse allowed. Manager wondering why the morale is so low.

Pros

Benefits, stimulating environment, lots of great co workers. Focus on promoting from within. Lots of interesting projects and are always new things to be learned.

Cons

Wish there were part time opportunities, not all full time . They recently eliminated flex time and seem to be less interested in fostering a positive work-life balance compared to previous years....so they seem less interested than they used to be in retaining experienced staff. The ways promotions were handled was inconsistent. Not much upward mobility unless you want to be in management. Often involved in projects that require a lot of extra hours...need to assert boundaries to not get caught up working lots of extra hours.

Pros

Schedule - Typically five 8hr shifts, Mon-Fri, Weekend call every other month, Weekday call once per week. Tuition Reimbursement at 100% if you are .6FTE or higher (Will change in June 2014) Surgeons are friendly and fun to work with for the most part

Cons

RNs have little to no say in practice/policy changes within the Surgical Services department. Call pay is decreasing to only $2.25/hr and getting paid for a minimum of 3hrs (starting in June). Limited availability to take vacation. Management doesn't support staff who "speak out" they are labeled as "trouble makers" and treated with a threatening attitude. Many changes taking place in June 2014 including a 6.5% decrease in pay.
