Pros

My pay was based on years of experience not a generic pay scale like most companies. I feel that I started out at a wage that was closer to my experience level (20+ yrs) then past employers in NC. A lot of nice coworkers, benefits are not bad for a single person. PTO time is earned every pay period so it can add up significantly. There are several different teams depending on facility or specialty. My Manager is good at working with me if I have issues but other Managers don't seem to care about their employees.

Cons

They are more concerned with productivity then fixing the problem the first time so the money comes in faster. You can be fired if you do not meet their productivity goals which seem to change regularly based on some report received on the "National Average". We are not a call center but that is what Upper Management perceives us as, therefore they believe the ridiculously high numbers for productivity can be achieved by everybody. Sure they can if you don't work the account properly. Promotions depend on who you know, not what you know or how well you do in an interview. Communication is not always spectacular and you often hear about most changes from other employees before you hear about it from Management. This is the only company I have worked for that PTO has to be used for holidays when the office is closed. All the other companies I have worked for in the past paid their employees for the holidays. There are cliques and certain employees can do no wrong with Management while another employee will be reprimanded for the same thing. Training on the billing system is not adequate and you have to figure a lot of things out on your own that are already known by others. Cheat sheets should be given out to new employees listing several different ways to do something and allow that employee to choose which one works for them.

Pros

The insurance, my coworkers, single patient rooms, free parking for staff.

Cons

I felt as though I was lied to at orientation. They spoke about how much they care about their employees and since I have been there I feel very underappreciated by management and providers, and many of my fellow nurses feel the same way as well. They continue to put on more work and responsibility (I.e. we are now 7:1 even on days which I find horrific especially now that we are entering flu and pneumonia season) yet the raises are minimal and benefits are not really that great. I was told that we were to get a "generous" sum of money to go back to school, which turned out to be on $2,000 a year---which would probably barely cover text books. I also feel like it costs an arm and a leg to request time off.

Pros

Team mates work together to provide patient care needs to the best of their ability. Benefits are above average. CEUs are provided in house. If you love working under pressure, this is a great place for you. You will find enormous growth in your multi tasking skills. You will find it easy to grow, because we learn from our mistakes and leadership hone in on any you make. Every department has a director, manager (or two), a coordinator (or two), so even tough you only have a few seasoned nurses on the floor either you, occasionally you can look forward to one the aforementioned chatting it up with your patients to reveal how behind you were delivering appropriate and safe care. It's so refreshing when your pulled from your duties to discuss those revelations so you can get further behind!

Cons

If they would require ALL nurses with a leadership hat to wear a uniform, put their tablets down, their phones off, stop meeting and talking about how to get the herd to be more productive and get their fannies to the bedside to provide the care a nurse is trained to do then maybe life would be better for patients and staff. Never worked anywhere in the country that had so managers, assistants, coordinators and charge nurses. It's nuts. Fire them all and hire nurses to tend to patients. No one would miss any of them.
