Pros

It's very much site dependent, but some hospital managers are really good. Usually NVA has a very "hands off" approach in that they don't enact major policy changes to clinics, especially when the clinic is purchased by them. The health benefits are decent when you are the only person on an insurance plan.

Cons

Up to a 3% raise every year during your annual review, and it's merit based. Read that again. It doesn't even balance out the cost of living/inflation. HR is not particularly useful when you have a complaint/don't care unless it significantly impacts the earnings of the company. If you want to add a significant other to your health insurance plan, it cost around $200 dollars to do so. The workman's comp is very picky about what situations they will cover. A coworker had a significant injury that impacted their job for several months, and required surgery as well as physical therapy. Their claim was denied due to their injury occurring when they were "doing an activity outside of their job assignment". They were helping someone clean when they fell.... but because said cleaning was in an area outside of their "role/area", their claim was denied and they had to pay everything out of pocket.

Pros

Helps the hospital afford things such as advanced monitoring equipment

Cons

Took away all part time employees benefits such as pto, sick time, and holiday pay. They tried to “smooth it over” by doing a calculation based on how much you worked the past two years that decides how much of a “bonus” you get every 6 months to make up for taking away our pto, sick time and holiday pay. It’s been 7 months and we have yet to receive that. Also this is only for 2 years and then after that you’re SOL.
