Pros – Easily accessible from most locations.
Cons – Salary and staffing could be better. Parking is inadequate, but they are working on it.
Advice to Senior Management – Listen to your employees. When there is an issue regarding employee retention, and possible plans of action are recommended, why not at least give it a trial? The same problems have been going on for at least 20 years and are not being addressed adequately. You are constantly losing valuable experienced emplyees due to lack of satsfaction.

Pros – Pretty much hired us to do our jobs and allows us to do so with little or no interference most times.
Cons – Nothing I can't work or live with. It seems management doesn't see the difference between Hospital and Retail environments.
Advice to Senior Management – Ease up on the "work together, play together" activities.
