Pros

Benefits are good, usually several shifts to choose from in the hospitals. Promote from within which is nice.

Cons

Not accommodating for personal struggles. Managers can be petty and include their personal feelings in decision making, HR is not your friend, just like anywhere else. The pay is not competitive AT ALL and they try to justify with benefits which other health systems also offer; other health systems are offering $2 to $5 more at base for pay. Cannot opt out of 5% contribution to 401K or trade it for 5% contribution to Roth IRA which feels grimey. You won't be vested into 401k for 3 years.

Pros

Mission-focused Some patients and employees are nice Good benefits

Cons

Crowded and Busy. In the cancer institute the lines for check-in went out the door and it seems like everyone forgets their manners in that place. Very little pay for dealing with so many angry patients
