Pros

Level 1 trauma center where you get to work with patients you'd never see otherwise - teaching hospital where you can pick lots of info up

Cons

Can be a hot mess - and a lot of 'fend for yourself' chaotic feel due to the size. If you don't mind asking questions, you'll be fine. Lots of brand new nurses, not a terribly 'homey' feeling...but it's worth it for the experience.

Pros

Workplace Culture and Team Collaboration: Many employees appreciate the supportive, family-like atmosphere and strong teamwork within their teams and across departments. They value the camaraderie, inclusivity, and mutual respect that foster a positive work environment focused on patient care. Meaningful Work and Patient Impact: Employees find motivation and satisfaction in knowing their work directly or indirectly improves patient care and community health. This sense of purpose is a significant driver of engagement.

Cons

Degree Requirements and Career Advancement: Many employees express concern that strict degree requirements, especially for IT roles, hinder career progression and demoralize experienced staff without degrees. There is a strong preference for recognizing equivalent experience or certifications in lieu of formal degrees to promote internal mobility and retain talent.
