Pros

The people, the live saving mission. Being able to work knowing that everything I do directly influences someone's life! I haven't been here long, but so far, all the people I have met have been supportive, the pay is VERY COMPETITIVE and the health benefits are some of the best I've ever had. There's talk about how management has favorites- but that's not my experience- if you are working hard and doing your best, they recognize your efforts, I was called out in a team meeting for doing an awesome job. People who come on here and bad mouth the company, probably just didn't meet the expectations- so do better and good luck! It's the best- or nothing here!

Cons

There are a lot of contractors, I hope I am hired full time soon! The cafeteria closes too early.
