Pros

It is Healthcare - stable industry for the near future, great work/life balance, good leadership, competitive salaries, one of the few places that offers a pension plan, discounts at Sentara facilities,overall company approach to patient safety, reputed name in the community, community/charity work, great place for someone near the twilight of their careers to retire.

Cons

Mid-level management politics/empire building, poor bonus payouts in recent years, not enough employee recognition, social salary increments - no pay by performance, meager salary increment - hardly keeps with inflation, poor employee review/performance system - only yearly reviews, 6 months of waiting for budget approvals followed by 6 months of hurry up get it done

Great job if you like drama, gossip and lack of organization.

Pros

Good pay and steady hours. Easy job for the most part, a lot of openings if you want to transfer departments/learn other areas

Cons

High turnover, so short staffed that there is no disiplinary action for bad behaviors because they don't want to lose more staff, so everyone pretty much runs rampant and does what they want. No patient focus, unsafe practices and you will be worked to death trying to pick up the slack.
