Pros

It's a good place to learn how to cope with minimal staff. Lots of practice doing that. Also, it's a great place to lied to if your into that sort of thing.

Cons

Too many to count. I would start with the lack of support from executives and there knowledge of questionable medical billing practices in the DFW area.

Pros

hiring process was very fast

Cons

Short staffed, they take critical patients from ICU from other hospitals and place them on med surge floor which is mostly staffed with new grad nurses because they can't keep their experienced nurses. Nurse does everything, total patient care since most of the times techs can not be found anywhere, all lab draws, because there is no phlebotomy team, all wound care, which is hard because people do not work as a team and at times it takes hours to find someone to help to reposition patient so wound care can be done. This place does not even have an HR department, recently they fired entire HR team and now they only have HR help line. Equipment is broken, AC does not work most of the time, there are wholes inside the walls in the patients rooms and cob webs in the windows. Also there is no matching 401K contributions. I imagine every other job would have to be better then this. They also admit mental health patients they are not equipped or trained for and you have to take care of patients who want to punch you or they try to run away from unit. It is truly a huge mess.

Pros

I enjoyed working with the majority of my co-wokers. We bonded over our mutual surprise that the hospital hadn't been shut down yet (over the 2.5 years I worked there it came very close twice).

Cons

Terrible management, no regard for employee satisfaction. Hostile working environment that was both racist and sexist. The turnover rate was so high that schedules and shifts were constantly being changed. Inadequate training for staff that resulted in poor patient care.
