Pros

Love the people here. Lots of opportunities for over time and incentive pay. Good benefits as well. Pretty competitive pay for the area.

Cons

People are rushed through training to get on shift which creates a high turnover rate.

Pros

Flexible hours and friendly coworkers

Cons

Poor management and pay. Only has Cerner as EMR which is far worse than EPIC.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and perspective. Your input helps us identify where we can grow. We are in the midst of a systemwide transition to Epic as our EMR, which we believe will enhance both the employee and patient experience once complete.
