Pros

-I grew a lot during my career within HCA. Some of the teams I worked on were fantastic -Lots of internal growth opportunities

Cons

-Working under Robbie Tatum (HRVP), I learned first hand what a toxic work environment is. One would think that working in the HR field, a leader would go out of their way to actively create a better culture and inspire our team. This was not the case with Robbie. She constantly pits her own team members against each other, does not offer any advice when it comes to handling employee issues (nor takes ownership on the off chance she does offer advice). She made multiple insensitive remarks to multiple members on the team and within 1.5 years, she has lost 3 people on a 3 person team. Working under her, I started to lose my passion for a field that I have worked so hard to make a name in. Somehow she has been an HRVP for multiple years within the company.

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.
