Pros

Pride in telling people I work for the largest Health System in Northern Virginia. Really nice colleagues who want to get it right.

Cons

Too much bureaucracy & red tape. High performers often leave because low performers never do.

Pros

- High-quality, hardworking, knowledgeable therapists - Experienced therapists afforded a fair amount of autonomy (can be a pro or con, as it greatly increases workload) - Clean, organized, well-equipped facility

Cons

- Poor compensation for HCOL area - High turnover, chronically short-staffed - Demanding management with unrealistic expectations; reluctant to take accountability for unsafe assignments - Micromanagement produces a harsh, hypercritical culture that encourages mean-spirited gossip - Permissive attitude toward bullying, especially toward new grads - Despite diverse staff, not particularly friendly toward LGBTQ+ people; heard multiple co-workers make homophobic/transphobic remarks about certain staff members

Pros

Unit culture, free parking, understanding nurse manager.

Cons

Viciously low pay. Offered me less than what new grads make at my current hospital. Unwilling to negotiate and rescinded offer for asking to negotiate. Did not respect my requested start date of 4 weeks after acceptance (due to previously fully booked and paid for vacation.)
