Pros

Mission has a variety of nursing settings to work in. Mission is currently trying to achieve "Magnet" status, which will hopefully mean higher pay scales for the nurses. The benefits package, while not great, is still one of the best that I've seen in the area. Another good thing that Mission Hospitals encourages is professional growth. There is a program in place that will pay for health care schooling in return for time on the job. I believe its year-for-year, but am not completely sure of the details. There are several "high-demand" jobs that they will pay for you getting a degree in such as Nursing, Respiratory Therapy, Physical Therapy, etc.

Cons

The pay at Mission Hospitals for nurses is far lower than what I was getting at my former employer, Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro, NC. And although I said the benefits package was pretty good, one still must fork over one thousand dollars before any real compensation begins. This might not be so hard for a nurse or doctor, but for the average employee in, say, dietary or housekeeping, this can be a real challenge. And speaking of dietary, although the food is pretty good for a hospital, the services offered isn't so good. Often meals for patients are late, omitted or not what they ordered.

Pros

Great nurses, resilient community, many leadership growth opportunities, large hospital with many specialties, the only level 1 trauma center in WNC.

Cons

The hours are very challenging. often 5am to 6pm M-F. No additional compensation for extra hours, nights, or on-call weekends. You must love the work, and have minimal need for work-life balance to enjoy working here.
