Pros

Location is great right off the highway, and there's a Starbucks on campus

Cons

Lowest base pay of any suburban hospitals, short staffed, unrealistic work load, management hides in the office all day with no offer to help, no unit or floor rotation for RTs, AMITA prefers to hire agency than giving raises, small bonuses, policy that staff must clock out for the 30 min required break, staff can not clock in or out more than 1 minute before start of shift, HR ignores staff concerns or needs, benefit package is over priced and little coverage, turn over rate is ridiculous, management and staff spend good portion of the shift on smoke breaks, ER patients wait up to 2 or more hours just to be seen, even if it's chest pain or shortness of breath, MDs and RNs slow to ship out critical patients that the staff isn't equipped or trained to handle, most NICU staff are rude, inappropriate, and unprofessional towards therapists.

Pros

Nice small neighborhood hospital with many big hospital finds

Cons

When Amita health took them over, that's when it went down the tubes but now that this relationship is broken up, they are back on top especially having U of Chicago behind them
