Pros

Great coworkers, decent pay, good benefits.

Cons

High tech-to-patient ratio and nurse-to-patient ratio. Techs are given more than10 patients each and expected to still be able to keep up with all of the patients' needs, while often the other tech or the assigned nurse is so busy themselves they can offer no assistance. Bed control does not seem to understand how it stresses an entire unit to receive 4 new patients within thirty minutes of each other (and understaffed unit, might I add). Nursing management doesn't seem to understand patient needs do not diminish at night and night shift employees are even more overworked than daytime associates. Management does NOT give consideration to patient acuity when making assignments. A nurse may have 1 patient who needs constant, q15 minute manual bladder irrigation and that nurse still receives another 5-6 patients along with it. Management likes to give the illusion of wanting to consider nurses' and staff input but never actually listens. Run as fast as you can away from this health system.

Pros

Diversified Varied shifts Diversified Varied locations

Cons

Games get played with promotions!!! Job descriptions are changed to allow certain people into positions then changed back. Regardless of tenure, one can be passed up for promotions because the "powers that be" want a particular person in a role that is a "yes man/woman" instead of someone more qualified. People have even been promoted into director roles without having a degree and/or little to no experience vs someone with a degree or years of experience. Raises are not fairly given. Again, tenure does not matter. Compensation needs to bring positions and salaries up to the current market value, Work life balance is a joke!!!!
