Pros

Compensation was above average Great Benefits package Company is solid, making money Flexible schedule

Cons

They will work you to death and there is no work/life balance. Management acts as if they are too good to roll up their sleeves and work. Instead, subordinates are expected to do the work of several people often resulting in long hours and overtime. Although they offer a flexible schedule, the workload rarely permits you to take advantage.

Pros

Presently, it is very hard to give pros on my job. The only pros are related to the other bedside nurses that I work with. Many of them continue to give good care and stand up for what is right for the patient despite the criticism they receive from the management and lack of support from the management.

Cons

They say they have open communication throughout al levels of management. Yes, you can talk to anyone and they listen but they never resolve issues or problems. They are all about the all mighty dollar and care little for their employees. The management is never accountable for their mistakes but tend to place blame on employees when things do not work. They are the worst hospital management I have ever worked under as an RN. Bottom line is they actually do not care about patient care- just if they are making money. They have nursing staff ratio to patients is high. They do not use acuity of patient to calculate nurse to patient ratio- though JCAHO is starting to recognize that better patient outcomes are found is lower patient to nurse ratio. HCA is not about patient care just about making money at the cost of their employees and the patients.

Pros

There are no advantages to working at a company that doesn't provide fair and adequate raises while they make unprecidented profits. Patient care suffers when caregivers are poorly compensated. Patients should steer clear of HCA hospitals. How can caregivers care for their patients correctly while they are unfairly compensated.

Cons

HCA shouldn't give employees with good evaluations 1.5% raises while their net income for 2011 is 2.5 billion. Customers need to boycott HCA until they compensate their employees at least up to the rate of inflation. Patient care will suffer if the company undercompensates the caregivers.
