Pros

Promoting a positive work-life balance, and they mean it! The leadership tries to practice what they preach. Good opportunities to learn in-house. Peers teach each other their disciplines, and the knowledge sharing is solid. Great total compensation package.

Cons

Leadership is out of touch with employees who are not located in headquarters. Leaders need to be more open and receptive to constructive criticism. Organization is too top heavy, and there is very little diversity in the leadership team. There is no new voice or opinion, or attempts to bring in new perspectives.

Business Outlook

Pros

Depending on location, cutting edge/advanced procedures, very critically ill patients (if you like the challenge). Great pay and benefits

Cons

Too much emphasis on "personality" vs "skills"; will choose personality over capability, resulting in a questionable skill mix among nursing staff. Horrible HR department (Employee Health and HR are not even on campus)- basically non-existent. Little policy for practice guidance, leaving patient management to the whim of the provider who is on shift or the particulars of the surgeon. Inconsistency from facility to facility in terms of quality of care provided.
