      Pros

      The one and only good thing about Health First is self scheduling for RNs who work 3 12-hour shifts a week. You can choose the days you want to work and are usually granted what you request, except for required weekends and holidays.

      Cons

      Literally everything else. Terrible turn over with employees, staff literally, actually "hate" working there (we all talk to each other so I know). Constantly understaffed, overworked, and low morale. You are overworked to utter misery. I felt like a slave. The whole time I worked here I was denied a merit increase. They will deny you a raise for any reason such as; you got your flu shot 1 day late, you did your N95 fit test 1 day late, you submitted your online learning 1 day late, you submitted any required module 1 day late, and more. If you clock in 1 minute late or 1 minute early, you get a point and at 10 points you are fired! If you are wrongly given a point by mistake and do not tell your manager to correct it within a certain amount of time, the point stays on your record! This place HATES their employees! They don't care about you, they care about profits and warm bodies filling a position. Undoubtedly the WORST employer I have EVER worked for. Even Worsthoff is better and I worked there too!

      Impressive facade, not the reality.

      Pros

      Decent work/life balance, decent pay compared to most places in Brevard.

      Cons

      Seems they would rather keep unskilled and untrained people in management roles and lose good hourly employees because they are easier to replace. Computer systems are outdated and inefficient.

      Pros

      I can only speak as to how the IT department was. And specifically mangers and directors. There are some really great passionate people who do the day to day work but it is stifled at best. 1. you get to leave at some point. 2. it pays the bills. 3. there are worse things...cant think of them off the top of my head but if i try i think i can. 4. the people that work here, like actually work, are passionate and professional about the quality of work. 5. some people get random paid days off by surprise. Its like Christmas but with lawyers. 6. you do get to play with some cool technology.

      Cons

      1. work life balance is equal to that of a one legged hamster in a wheel. 2. fear factor but with real world consequences...like your job and all. 3. Helen Keller listens more than the management here. 4. No vision, direction or vision to get direction. 5. Soul sucking and very draining. too much to do and too many fires to put out to make a real difference.
