Pros

stable hours, job security, medical staff great

Cons

union based so doesn't matter how hard you work, if someone senior than you is lazy, they will get the job/promotion due to seniority. Very toxic environment from management. If they do not like you or if they feel like you are outshining them, they will make it a point to put you down and make your life hell. My fellow coworker and I have gotten in trouble from bringing up a toxic work environment and concerns and were retaliated against. we went to union and HR, but was brushed off and said if you dont like it leave and that it is difficult to go up against a name brand. I love what I do for patients, but I hate the environment
