Pros

Access to Purchase Food On-Site 24/7 (Jersey Jack's, but it's expensive, mediocre hospital food).

Cons

Security limited on ability to defend self and others (even when hit by patients with a crutch). All night shift staff required to use 1 hour of PTO when Daylight Savings Begins (spring forward) to have a full 12 hour shift (not allowed to opt out). Have to take the shuttle from offsite parking to work, which can take anywhere from 5-35 minutes. Shuttle doesn't always answer the phone, resulting in walking to the hospital in a high traffic area. All time clock corrections and PTO requests are done on paper, and must be tracked as paperwork OFTEN goes missing before reaching payroll. ER Lobby conditions are unsafe, and unreasonable wait times. A lot of staff treat patients terribly. HR upon hiring advised several of us experience we had (at other hospitals/corrections) did not count toward what we were told our hourly rate would be (I was paid 12% less an hour as a result of this, but had already turned down other job offers). Insufficient training.

Pros

The job was fantastic and I very much enjoyed everything we did. The hours were great and it was the perfect distance from my home.

Cons

They waited until 4 days before my probation period was up, and brought me in a room with two supervisors and a random nurse and terminated me because “ I’m not a good fit for the team”. They say my clinical skills are impeccable and no one from the hospital had any complaints about me in any way. A few people decided for me that my personality was too big for their team to handle. That says a lot about management there. I’ve NEVER been terminated in 26 years as a paramedic, but I come to UNM with a big personality and they cannot handle it.
