Pros

Schedule, work-life balance, regularly paid, some of the people I work with are nice even though they are not to happy about the environment.

Cons

If you are a minority please do not expect to be considered for any promotions or to receive any assistance in being mentored or professionally developed. Advice if you are working with a company and you are not experiencing any problems do not make a change to come to HCA. The old HCA is no longer the company that people look forward to retire from. There is a strong good-ole boy mentality in HR and it is very sad that good talent continues to leave. If there is one thing I can note it is that leadership is only concerned with their vacations and $125K+ salaries and not solving any issues. There is no sense of accountability and blame is placed on everyone except for leadership. I am disappointed that I left a perfectly ok position to join such a dysfunctional, non-cohesive, and non- supportive team. I would absolutely say DO NOT look at a company because of the big name, because at the end of the day if you are not afforded the same opportunities that are given to the majority then you have set yourself up for failure by joining such organization. Positions are not given to the most qualified, but to the person who knows the most people or kisses the most A&%)#&!!!!

Pros

There some flexibility with scheduling and they let you pick up as many shifts as you want and pretty much your own schedule.

Cons

Very poorly managed, chronically understaffed but managers are dismissive and deny it. The support from staff is inconsistent, the staff nurses are either fresh new grads or very bitter nurses who don’t want to help and expect you to handle everything by yourself as a tech. Most nurses here are PRN’s on contracts that get floated so it’s really hard to expect consistency in the staff you work with and build trusting relationships. Management will promise to train you as a unit secretary but will never follow up. They also agree to help you get opportunities for learning and growth but refuse to follow up or forget about it altogether, despite reminders. It’s not a priority. If your goal is to grow and learn more this is not the place. It’s running on fumes at 95% of the time. Very high turnover, we struggle to keep staff. They’ll call you in to pick up when they’re understaffed with no incentive or something minimal like “swag” (some gear). Very poorly compensated and you will not be appreciated for the hard work you do. Also it took 2 months for them to get me started despite numerous attempts to reach the HR, Management etc.
