Pros

Working side by side great and gifted people, genuinely dedicated to the well-being of those they care for.

Cons

Poor wages and benefits for medical professions. As Mission is steadily buying up everything medical in Western North Carolina there are fewer and fewer non-Mission jobs in the health field; this affects salary and benefits not only for employees of Mission and its affiliates but for the entire region- Mission is the largest employer around. There is a huge disconnect between what the system promotes itself as and what actually exists. Upper management appears to care only about what can be measured and turned into awards; the intangibles that have so much to do with great care are consistently undervalued if they're valued at all. Benefits are poor, workload ever increasing. Morale is poor, for many of the reasons mentioned above.

Pros

Great nurses, resilient community, many leadership growth opportunities, large hospital with many specialties, the only level 1 trauma center in WNC.

Cons

The hours are very challenging. often 5am to 6pm M-F. No additional compensation for extra hours, nights, or on-call weekends. You must love the work, and have minimal need for work-life balance to enjoy working here.
