Pros

The very few times I was assigned to care for any particular critical patient; you have a chance to connect with them.

Cons

Encouraged not to take breaks, didn't get breaks most days, workload increased, management is very avoidant and likes playing favorites. There is no real HR Department, instead there are two people: manager and assistant manager of "Employee Success." No actual conflict resolution. You're worked beyond your breaking point. Don't expect regular, consistent feedback from supervisors and/or management. They will tell you all. Day. Long. that they care about the well-being and work-life balance of their employees, however there is little to no evidence to back these words up. In other terms, the organization will trick you to believe they care about you, but at the end of the day you are seen as disposable.
