Pros
Pay was comparable to other hospitals in Monterey County. Housekeeping and Dietary staff were extremely pleasant to work with.
Cons
Worked in several departments, as the hospital is so small, you find yourself being floated often. There is a terrible "backstabbing" culture amongst the nurses if you go "against the crowd" and actually try to do the right thing. Witnessed several HIPAA violations with ER nursing staff that management did nothing about when brought to their attention. Staff voiced blatant disregard for management's rules. LOTS of sick calls and then expected to do twice the work to make up for absences. Upper management fired the only decent leader they had there (Director of Nursing), and managers who have tried to weed out the "bad eggs" were not supported and forced to leave. This hospital needs to FLUSH all their upper management down the toilet and hire new, fresh, positive leadership. This might carry over to the worker bees.
