Pros

- 20% premium for working in cardiac - You will learn SO much. If you can be good here, you can be amazing at any hospital in NC - money to be made with all the call. - Clinical ladder - Mission Trips

Cons

- Horrible work life balance. Transplants, ECMOs, etc. Its not uncommon to work 15 hours straight on a weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday. Sometimes its all through the night. Ruined my sleep schedule and made me less emotional present for my actual life. - Burnout - recently lowered call pay, and becoming strict with working OT.

Pros

Pay is good for an administration job that is patient facing. They have good heath insurance options. They are willing to train people thathave not used their systems.

Cons

No paid holidays, you have to use your PTO bank. They changed to a time management system that is unforgiving. You know have to have PTO in your bank to even ask for PTO. No negitive PTO option. They have a point system for calling out and being tardy. That stays on your file for 13 month with no way to lose the point. Implementing a self service system that questions jobs security.
