Pros

Great benefits and satisfaction working for membership of a professional nursing association with a mission to drive positive change in clinical practice.

Cons

The mission does not match the work culture. Executive leadership does not support the membership and permits workplace hostility and bullying. The executive leadership and most directors do not value staff and is demonstrated by forcing long tenured, passionate employees out. employee satisfaction is only up when newer staff are still in the honeymoon state. Revenue looks good because of the long open positions of needed staff.

Pros

There are some truly great people on the marketing team who will welcome and support you.

Cons

Do not work here for the marketing team under its current leadership. She has unrealistic expectations of employees and creates a negative working environment. She will say one thing and do another, often going behind your back and is unprofessional. Her expectations are for you to be available at all times and will make even veteran employees question requesting time off out of fear because once she believes an idea, even if you tell her why you are taking time off and have proof, there’s no changing her mind and it will be held against you. She wants “unicorns” and yes people who won’t question or challenge her decisions, so if you aren’t that kind of employee, you will most likely be let go in an unprofessional manner with no warning. It’s hard to be promoted (can’t be considered within a year of being hired) and expectations of workload continue to grow to unreasonable amounts without adequate compensation. All changes in pay and promotions have to be approved by the executive team and many go years waiting for adjustments without getting them even though their role changed significantly from the job they were hired to do.
