Pros

Nice facility, large corporation with ability to transfer to other department's. Part of BJC healthcare which is a large non for profit organization.

Cons

No leadership, I currently don't even know who the manager of my department is. People are rewarded based on who their friends are, not how good of an employee they actually are. Nurses are expected to stand there and "smile" while being yelled at by patient's, families, doctors and charge nurses. Ability to transfer but almost always considered a "lateral" move as a nurse. Very small raises, nurse there for over 5 years and base pay has only gone up less than $2 an hour. Health insurance increases mean I make less take home now then I did as a new grad. Poor HR department. I've worked many 12 hour shifts with no lunch and not even a break.

Pros

Education CAN be paid for, but you are locked into a contract and cannot switch positions

Cons

Raises mean nothing. 53 cents is unlivable. incredibly demanding job. Always short staffed so you are doing 2 - 4 peoples worth of work. Constant training that needs to be done every 3 months.
