Pros

Recognizable brand and apparently the general public believes this is a place to get quality care.

Cons

Micromanagement and retaliation is rampant in leadership unless you're on the favorites list. Managers don't have adequate training or education to be in a position of leading people. Most have been given that title because of who they're friends with. Managers and the director are often not on site or claim to be working remotely. Even the education coordinator 'works remotely' most of the time. Staffing is terrible and more is constantly expected of short-staff to prove that the department is 'efficient and productive'. Pay is average but never compensates for advanced education, licensure, skills or experience. This place is abusive and ridiculous. State benefits at UNCH have become no better than any other hospital so there really isn't much incentive to be a new hire here. This place is awful. Avoid working here.
