Pros
VCU is a Level 1 Trauma center that has a fair deal of highly acute patients. The medical Center is renown for many specialties including transplant, cardiology, pediatrics etc. Overall it is a great teaching hospital and has a collaborative work environment. Great Benefits. Health care, SDL, LDL, insurance, vacation etc.
Cons
Employees are charged for monthly parking which takes a dent out of the pay check. While the benefits are excellent, they tend to low ball the nurses with starting base salaries. IN addition, VCU has a clinical ladder system which makes it challenging to move up the ladder and receive a raise.
