Good pay and benefits
Easy to transfer locations if you move or to pick up extra shifts
Opportunities to progress at any employment/education level
Great local culture and talent
Cons
Corporate doesn’t really connect with the local clinics (can be a good thing too I suppose). When they do, it doesn’t seem genuine or like they know how individual hospitals operate or how the employees function on a day to day basis.
