Needs tweaking but overall great...

Business Outlook

Pros

The supervisors & managers are very helpful. The policies they have in place to ensure everything goes smoothly is awesome.

Cons

Currently the personal leave policy is horrible. The first day you are sick, it is taken out of your personal leave time instead of sick leave time. Also, I do not think I am getting a fair pay but it is still better than what I was making which is zero.

Pros

Great team of coworkers that treat you like family.

Cons

Punishment system, taking away employee benefits, only care about money/reimbursement, employee satisfaction at an all time low/turn-over is an all time high. Make you float to all 4 hospitals with no orientation even though you are hired onto one hospital unit. If you voice your disagreement with "policies," most of which are made up to suit the situation, you will be asked to leave. Unprofessional management are disrespectful to employees. Short staffing makes for dangerous RN to patient ratios.
