Pros

The pay is on the higher end for the area

Cons

management has been sucking the life out of the employees for years. we are currently in another mass exodus in our department ( the 3rd since I've been here) because the management refuses to actually help as a team and would rather sit in meetings all day instead of help. this is not a healthy work environment. they play favorite to some, and the rest can kick rocks. we have too much call each month and not enough compensation for it. our AORN standard is from the ice age and when we bring it up to the "educator" we are told that "this is how weve always done things". Management is LAZY. If you work here, be prepared to do things yourself, learn things yourself, and then get written up for doing them wrong.

Pros

My team is the best!

Cons

They put directors in charge of functions they don’t actually understand, then surround themselves with people who tell them what they want to hear instead of what the organization needs to hear. The result is predictable: poor decisions, endless bureaucracy, and little accountability. They constantly talk about financial pressures while outsourcing work under the guise of “strategic partnerships” when it’s really about cutting costs. Cost reduction isn’t a strategy if you’re sacrificing capability, institutional knowledge, and long-term performance. My biggest concern is that they’ll continue making the same mistakes across other business functions before realizing the damage they’ve done. The organization has an extraordinary amount of tenure, but that’s not always a strength. Too often, poor performance is tolerated instead of addressed. Keeping low performers indefinitely while failing to invest in and reward high-performing talent creates unnecessary overhead and mediocrity. If they built teams around excellence instead of longevity, they’d likely achieve better results with fewer resources. Unless you’re looking for a corporate environment where there is zero accountability, conversations go in circles and leadership is more focused on protecting its own agenda than making difficult decisions, I wouldn’t recommend spending your time here.
