Pros

clean, up-to-date, good equipment/amenities. decent benefits and plenty of in-services on site. Fairly high standard for nursing care.

Cons

Self-insured--which means they decide what is covered for you and all your coworkers. No birth control, for example, even if I pay huge taxes t send their 6 kids to schools and I don't burden the system with a single one myself. Gatekeeper PCP. Workman's comp is brutal there--and if you are badly inured they will treat you like a leper, even if you have worked a long career with no history of serious injury nor time previously lost for injury. Sometimes they turn a blind eye to lazy or thoughtless coworkers or those who short-change their patients, maybe because they fear a lawsuit.
