Pros

Offering decent health care benefits, paid time off/sick leave, and strong communication links, this company is a great work environment for health care driven individuals.

Cons

In terms of some of the positions available, there is no room for upward growth or movement and new employees do not get to reap benefits of PTO until after six months of being hired.

Pros

Great work envirnonment. Critical care unit is well supplied, well staffed, professional and employs best practices. Respect from MDs on the unit and true autonomy in practice. Culture of excellence.

Cons

Cannot read emails during contract negotiations because it is too upsetting to hear about the hospital management trying to cut critical items from nursing. Magnet status, Best nursing quality per ANA, Stroke center, etc, yet pay, benefits, etc being threatened by management, Please dont advertise how excellent the nursing is in one breath, them turn and try to cut pay and benefits in the next! Lift issues are ignored although turning patients every 2 hours is required, and nurses are constantly injuring themselves. Computer charting is soooo redundant, with dozens of required flowsheets per hour, that RN, have lost alot of bedside time. "Quality Assurance" initiatives undermined by discipline overlapping, as in lab errors. No overtime allowed, so any minutes over 12 are deducted from vaca or floating holiday time.

Pros

Pay for the Cath Lab is good due to the union. Taking call is not a big deal as call-ins are for true emergencies! Get a nice discount on public transportation.

Cons

People that should have been fired are not because of the union! Paying for parking will take a big chunk out of your paycheck! People with seniority status tend to ride the clock without pulling their weight.
