Pros

community based organization, inhouse dining and cafeterias and pharmacy for their three thousand five hundred plus employees whith excellent food at a reasonable cost

Cons

none that I can think of after working there for thirty plus years! They have grown to be an excellent care giver to its patients in a three hunderd and fifty bed state of the art facility.

I worked a per diem position as a generalist on nights and weekends.

Medical laboratory technician

Business Outlook

Pros

The shift differential was good, you get $5 more from 5pm to midnight and $6 from midnight to 5am. The health benefits were great.

Cons

When I worked there it was constantly understaffed in the lab which made it easy to get burned out. They also didn't pay for technical support on nights and weekends so if you were working one of those shifts and an analyzer broke down you had to figure it out yourself.

Business Outlook

Pros

* Chances to grow professionally. * Beautiful area and city. * Some great people work there. * Pay is above average for some jobs.

Cons

* Many layoffs * NonClinical staff not always treated well * Insurance is expensive--one pays a lot out of pocket. * No trust in the upper management * The atmosphere of the hospital can be very diverse. One never feels safe in their job. * Hospital layoffs people at least once a year. * While some clinical staff is absolutely amazing, over half are very short, entitled, and rude.
