Pros

Room for advancement and career building, magnet hospital. The pay is pretty good. It's also very easy to apply for transfer within the hospital.

Cons

lack of communication, incompetent management I worked in a non clinical area. It took three years for me to get used to the dysfunction of my department. Favoritism, lack of communication, disrespect for others was part of the every day grind for me. I'm the kind of individual that likes to get a job done and make it pleasurable for others. I was odd man out, that's for sure. I am now licensed to work as a professional on the clinical side. I applied for a new position (prior to my leaving) and was called for an interview. I was hoping the experience would be different, but alas, it was not. The individual that did my interview got very rude with me and threw questions that were quite inappropriate to ask during a professional interview. It was evident that this person was trying to make me uncomfortable or look bad, not sure. Even if I was offered the transfer, I would have declined it. I would rather take a pay cut and work for/with professionals that have respect for others and the job they claim they love so much. My career wouldn't have survived here because I have boundaries and call people on it when they cross them. I'm also a fan of transparency when doing a job. That's not something that is valued in this institution so I decided to go somewhere that could use my qualities and skills.

Pros

-great managers -non-interpreting staff very familiar working with an interpreter -policies and expectations set for most situations -exceptionally developed department (which includes a senior director) relative to other hospitals, which often lack even a basic interpreting department

Cons

-work volume; often few breaks, definitely not enough to do anything other than work-related tasks (e.g., study for class, make a personal phone call) -inflexible schedule -work flow heavily dependent on coworker proactivity -leadership structure (managers over leads over interpreters) can result in micromanagment
