Pros

-good residency program -big hospital so you see a lot of interesting cases -fair pay

Cons

-cheap hospital always out of supplies and resources/broken equipment -low PTO/sick leave accrual -no ability to negotiate pay benefits or anything - essentially NO HR to ask questions, it’s all virtual -did not get compensated for time doing onboarding work including TB and blood work, picking up badge, setting up benefits etc. (ROBBERY) -no one to discuss benefits with you, help you set up payroll stuff etc. Your on your own good luck! -expected to check emails on days off and get in trouble for not responding… -poor work life balance -rarely get breaks, no break nurses -Paying around $140 or more a month in parking -new RNs bullied by experienced RNs - no food sold on campus -on campus Starbucks has limited hours -seriously unsafe patient to nurse ratios -management pulls new RN residents off orientation when staff is short (breaking our residency contract) -senior staff get the best schedules, including no weekend schedules etc. This results in poor retention of new nurses.

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.
