Pros

Job stability - after nine month probation period. Good place to get some experience and pay down debt before moving on. Each department can be very different, so take all the reviews here with a grain of salt. Some are good, some not. Very good people. They promote from within.

Cons

Low pay, expensive health insurance, and mandatory pay into pension at 1/4 of salary, which you'll never collect - because management wants high turnover. No EHR. All records are on paper, and all you do is write notes. Union is worthless and makes things worse.
