Pros
It's great being part of a team (staff on the floor) that supports you and has your back. Nice size hospital.
Cons
1.) Pay for CNAs is very low ($10/hr starting) & raises are very low as well (after 5 yrs I'm making just under 14$/hr) for a job that is truly on the "front line" of caring for the patient. Yes, you can move on up and become a RN with a higher salary but someone still has to do the CNA work and they should be paid a living wage. 2.) Management is disconnected to what's happening on the floor. Over the 5 years I've been working at Porter I have never seen a "manager" actually work as a floor nurse (& CNA), or even walk down the hall to get a sense of what is going on and truly being "in the know" on what can be done to improve working conditions & address employees concerns.
