Pros

I could make a lot of money.

Cons

I got injured and the first action they took was to penalize my wages. I worked here for almost 10 years and still my contributions and concerns regarding safety were completely disregarded. I tried to transfer for a job I had 3 times the experience needed and did not receive the job either time I applied.

Pros

They are willing to teach. You get to see all types of exciting cases, especially trauma.

Cons

The pay here is really bad for a university and I was told it’s because of the union. The only hospital in the area that is union. Some of the staff members are very unprofessional with their language, especially during lunchtime to the point. It’s hard to enjoy your lunch.
