Pros

My coworkers are fun, hardworking and knowledgeable. We have great variety in the cases that we operate on, so it's a great place to learn your basics and to specialize, should you choose to. The operating room managers can be good at helping people to grow and learn more. some of them see us as individuals and are able to visualize what might be helpful to expand an employee's skill set, and comfort level in more areas. A big part of the culture is based upon being empathetic to what patient's and their families are going through, and looking to see what each of us could do to ease their journey.

Cons

Pay is lower than other hospitals, there is the mindset here that is common to so many health care operations; we health care workers should go all out and give everything we've got to help the public, without any selfish thoughts of how we need to take care of ourselves financially. Florence Nightingale wouldn't be bringing up salary comparisons, now would she?!?! Parking is difficult, I have to arrive earlier and earlier just to cover the amount of time and distance it takes to park, especially in the winter. The call pay is $3 an hour--that's $3 dollars an hour to rearrange and crimp your life and put it at the beck and call of the company 2-3 weekdays, and one 12 hour weekend day/night a month.

Like many large healthcare organizations, decision-making can sometimes take longer due to the number of stakeholders involved. Cross-functional projects often require coordination across multiple departments, which can impact timelines but also helps ensure compliance and thoughtful implementation.
