Pros

The benefits are decent (health insurance, FMLA, etc). That's the best part of it. Opportunity to move up, because of the high turnover rate You get to work at a "big name" hospital

Cons

Ever unit I've been on was super religious, with workers preaching about God to each other and patients. It's unprofessional. Toxic work environment. Nurses eat their young, and gossip about one another. Overworked, especially since COVID! We are expected to work more/harder without being paid more Constantly short staffed. Plus, my new manager would rather have us work short staffed than accept help from ESP, because of the money. All of the sickest patients that other hospitals don't want to accept come here. Patients literally come from all kinds of other states to Emory because they couldn't receive the treatment they needed at their hospital.

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.
