Terrible place for team member and patient satisfaction

Business Outlook

Pros

Ample parking, that's about it

Cons

Toxic management. Incompetent staff. Patient safety is an empty buzzword to most everyone here. Ideas for improvement are seen as threats. Little room for advancement. If you enjoy being a mindless corporate puppet working in dangerously thinly staffed conditions, then this is the place for you.
