Pros

High quality care, lots of medical services, Magnet designation.

Cons

I often feel a lack of respect working as a Nursing Assistant at UW. Very little recognition or appreciation for the work I do. Mandatory overtime on occasion.

Pros

Good benefits for full-timers. I was full-time but on a temporary, seasonal basis, so I didn't get those benefits. Coworkers are generally friendly. Pay is competitive, but not amazing. They rarely ever want you putting in more than 40h/week to pay overtime, so it offers a good work/life balance.

Cons

Office gossip can get bad. Just starting off, the benefits/vacation/salary aren't that great - it takes time to move up the ranks. There really isn't any way to fast-track this movement... you get an annual review and that's pretty much your only opportunity to demonstrate what you're worth and demand more for your abilities.

Pros

Even thought the hospital is a big place, after a while you will get to know most staff that you come to contact with. Most staff are great to work with, everyone is friendly and professional.

Cons

Because it is a big place to work at, management cannot micro managed employees. There are employees that take advantage of this and didnt get their work done as it should be.
