Pros
There is a union that is good about advocating for the employees. It is a great place to see cases/diseases that are rarely seen at other hospitals making it a good place to learn. The large number of low-income, homeless/indigent patients makes me feel like I am doing something worthwhile for people that really have nowhere else to go.
Cons
The higher people are in the hierarchy of the organization the greater their hypocrisy. For good reason there is a long history of distrust of management and executives... i.e. employees went four years without pay-raises and were made to "contribute" about 5% from our pay in order to help the hospital build up its financial reserves. However, management and administration did not have to "contribute" anything from their pay, and they still continued to receive their bonuses.
