Pros
Co-workers band together to provide good patient care because that is why we went into healthcare. That's really about it, but there's a 20 word minimum so I had to add something else.
Cons
Poor benefits - cost increases every year, above our "raises" and our "bonuses" - coverage decreases every year. High deductibles Poor pay - raises are 1, 2 or 3%. (only a lucky 10% get the 3% raise) Poor management and way too many of them. Understaffed because of the above listed reasons - current staff overworked. Limited investment options No staff appreciation or recognition. Absolutely no attempt at staff retention - instead of rewarding or recognizing current employees they offer things like $20,000 bonuses to new employees making current ones feel even less appreciated.
