Lots of work to keep you busy, medical staff appreciates the in house interpreters. Felt very valued/needed. Worked with two different managers during my time there and the previous manager was more focused on personal relationships rather than overall operations, felt like there was no structure or rules to follow with so much personal drama being brought into work, when the new manager came in she inherited a mess. But the last few years before I left there was a drastic difference in the environment I felt like it was a much healthier environment to work in and much more structured. Lots of more acknowledgment from the management, management started collecting more feedback from the team about the day to day operations. Taking PTO started becoming much easier. Another pro was the manager/director would order food every month for the entire staff, and ordering cakes to celebrate everyones birthdays, felt very inclusive.
Cons
The pay rate when I first started was amazing compared to other hospitals but I left mainly because of how bad the pay rate became, every other hospital pays at least $7 more per hour compared to this hospital.
