Pros

I really enjoy working at PCH, truly. My patients are the best and the reason I stay.

Cons

As much as I love PCH and would like to never leave here the pay is absolutely horrible for nurses and techs. After taxes and insurance we make almost nothing compared to any other hospital in AZ. The critical care areas don’t get paid more and the turn over of bedside staff is horrible! Also, probably the most aggravating part is that if you work here you can expect the most ridiculous pay raise system ever. However, if you come in with experience you make way more. So basically it doesn’t matter about how many years of service you have put in at the hospital if you leave and then come back you make way more. So they basically push you out because nobody can live off this ridiculous pay.

Pros

The culture here is truly exceptional. From day one, I’ve felt supported, encouraged and set up for success. It’s been a genuine joy coming to work each day. What stands out most is how approachable and invested everyone is at every level, including the CEO. They take the time to answer questions and offer guidance. Coming from an academic background into a completely new environment and I’ve really appreciated the patience and understanding from my colleagues as I tackle this brand new adventure. It’s a welcoming, collaborative place where you feel valued, and I’m grateful to be part of the team.

Cons

Things move quickly, which can be challenging at first, but it keeps the work engaging and creates lots of opportunities to learn and grow.

Pros

Guaranteed hours. Friendly co-workers. Pay is decent if you know you're worth.

Cons

No career support for experienced nurses looking to pivot or transition to a different role. Raises were not given due to Medicaid cuts.
