Pros

I think they are well organized as a whole. The various web sites for benefits, paystubs and the like do make life easier (except when your password expires without warning.) There are at least moderate opportunities to advance if you are willing to relocate. Also the Paid Time Off is top notch.

Cons

There are several Managers, even Directors earning $100k+ and bonuses (they like to brag) who don't seem to know enough about IT to get an entry level job, but are great BS'ers which makes them good at HCA's favorite activity, conference calls. If you are a superstar in IT, don't expect to be paid a premium, as it's all about title not talent. Oh and there are no bonuses under the Manager level, not even xmas.

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.
