After nine years and helping to build a new department (working 45-50 hours a week for 40 hours pay), I was laid off.

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent health insurance. Unionized employees at least get paid for hours worked.

Cons

My direct manager/supervisor changed six times in nine years. (I kid you not.) Terrible morale. People holing on because they needed the job. The facility CEO (my second... or was it third?) got perspiration across his upper lip every time he had to lead a quarterly meeting with general employees.

Co-workers really depend on which hospital you are working at.

Business Outlook

Pros

Negotiated pay and matched my salary from previous hospital in the Solano area.

Cons

Corporate runs the company like a fine tuned machine. You kind of feel like a gear in the machine, and nothing more. Just a replaceable part.

It really is a good place to work, except for one thing...

Clinical scheduling specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits. There is some room for advancement. Seems to be better now with the new COO

Cons

If you work an administrative job, you are REQUIRED to take off holidays, BUT you have to use your own PTO to fulfill your 80 hours. It doesn't matter if you don't want to use your PTO or if you want to work, say Labor Day. It's not an option.
