Pros

Growth in the company, innovative. Best care in the area.

Cons

Benefits, specifically for new moms. New moms beware, the insurance sucks. Specifically around breast pumps and supplies. Don’t plan on getting a pump that meets your standards and you can’t do the buy up plan on the medical supply website. If you want to get a different pump, you’ll have to submit a claim with your doctor and pay the difference. Also the portable ones they do cover? Have reviews such has ‘battery life always accurate’, ‘difficult to use’. Lastly if you want to replace parts, also not included. You are expected to use the same plastic parts for the entirety of your pumping journey. They will only replace IF the entire machine breaks. And then? I guess you send it in and expect miracles to keep pumping.

Pros

Being part of a Magnet recognized organization promotes professional development and improves patient outcomes and makes for a great place to work. I have received support and encouragement to grow both personally and professionally.

Cons

The health care benefits are expensive, and the pay is below average. Also, if you are at top of scale for pay you are given a one-time bonus that does not equate to what you would have received if you were given a pay raise. Upper organizational nursing leaders don't really know what it looks like to be a nurse in the hospital or clinics on campus. They never see the day-to-day workings or how difficult the nursing jobs are in this high capacity, high acuity environment. The common employee is invisible to upper leadership.
