Pros

Very Stable company to work for. Job security. No lay offs. You can definitely be employed with them for a long time. Tuition reimbursement they cover 80%. Paid training. Can apply for a new position after working in current position for 6 months.

Cons

Low entrance wages. College grad with a B.S. and A.S. starting pay $14hr. Benefits are mediocre. Very political place to work. Promotion is more so based on who likes you and not your skill sets. HR is hard to get in contact with even for employees. After a year and a few months I was promoted, and that was because I had to make it clear that I was ready and had to prove it! Some very talented people in my dept left because they were there for 2yrs or more and still at entry level. Mind you the promotion did not occur until they got a manager of color and all of these individuals were women of color. In my dept there are no Dr's of color. Annual 3% raise and with every promotion is a 8% raise. Surprisingly they are not flexible in scheduling if you are a student. They offer free classes for career growth yet you can't be off to take them. My advice work on the University side, they have it better than the healthcare side. Training is quick, but not nearly long enough and not thorough enough.

Pros

It's okay... I don't know how other ORs are run for comparison. Pay is alright. $47/hr and on-call is $8/hr. Have over 3 years of experience. Most people are pretty friendly. The friendly ones are starting to leave now, unfortunately.

Cons

Management doesn't fix problems. They won't respond to emails. Often don't have specimen printers, patient moving boards, etc. Tons of extra timeouts are kind of inconvenient (pre-op, pre-anesthesia, and pre-incision). Parking and commute are hassles. You can't park next to the hospital unless you are a doctor or advanced practitioner. At least 30min per day wasted on bus to and from hospital from parking tower I'm assigned. So much traffic to get to and from work. On call is very tiring. They frequently assign 7pm-7am overnight call right after 12hr shifts and then want you to stay because night shift didn't show up. Call requirement is at least 48hrs per month. Most OR rooms are super messy and badly stocked. ...Seems like more and more bad people are getting promoted to management positions. My immediate manager is good. The ones over her are not that great.
