Pros

Excellent work culture! Everyone is nice and I love how there is no "power distance". Which is not speaking up due to your ranking (i.e. nurses aides not being able to correct a nurse) and using your experience to speak up and contribute regardless of your job title. Innovation is what makes a work environment excellent and the fact that everyone can contribute and the environment encourages it is amazing. I work with amazing people there is not a lot of extra fluff (aka drama). Everyone works as a team! Literally communication within every department is seamless. I needed to see the staffing department and employee health about something and they all knew I was coming which made for easy exchange of information. I love using EPIC to chart! Excellent pay! Great benefits! Free parking. Reimbursement for continuing education.

Cons

High patient to aide ratio. 13:1 however I don't do vitals. Wish there was another aide for assistance but it's not a big deal.

Pros

+The company is severely incompetent +Trauma-bonding with your co-workers will never be easier

Cons

-Toxic management culture: you'll frequently be brought into full-team meetings where the management will circle-jerk themselves, refuse to listen to team members, change random procedures, then ask why the workers want to unionize. -The company is SEVERELY incompetent: the company blows thousands of dollars on worthless things like their own in-house AI chatbot GPT clone and refuses to spend money on resources wisely while simultaneously complaining about the budget. -Abhorrently dishonest: They let me go after bringing me into a meeting to discuss "communication expectations." They then refused to allow two-party consent for recording, fired me for apparently "violating their standards of protocol", refused to allow me to stay to gather any evidence of their random firing, and refused to respond to any emails to confirm the nature of the meeting. This was ALSO the week before the management promised everyone on our team an annual raise. -Separation is a nightmare: Not only did they lie about the reason for separation before being busted by the state, but they also refuse to cash out PTO time, and HR is a nightmare to work with when confirming details for state services.
