The pay is too low for the amount of work you have to do.

Cons

Lazy co workers
Lazy supervisor

Cons

many employees and staff were rude, disrespectful, inappropriate and unwelcoming.

Cons

High turnover, low pay, and stressful environment. Administration will not be helpful for advancement. Many employees come for the reputation and their resume, stay until they can't stand it any longer, then leave.

Cons

Upper management rarely requests feedback from employees and when they do, it seems they never put our thoughts into action. Once upon a time benefits (health insurance, pensions) used to be good but they no longer are. Pay is inadequate and significantly less than the main hospital. Senior nurses eat the young. Not much thought from management about how to retain employees which creates a lot of turn over. Often times the most experienced nurse on the floor only has a few ears of experience. Rotating day/night shift is brutal and takes years to get a decent schedule.

Cons

Pay for parking
Rotating shifts are mandatory even if you are not coping well with them. They care more about filling those slots than having safe nurses to care for the patients.
They will tell you that benefits like tuition reimbursement make up for the low pay, but if you’re not in college using that benefit, it’s useless. The health insurance used to be phenomenal but now deductibles and copays are ridiculous and the premium is higher. They give you $1 raises/year if you’re lucky but that all goes to health insurance and parking increases.
Nursing unit managers are unprofessional and favoritism is blatant.
They don’t care about retaining nurses or techs, but throw a lot of perks at physicians, which is crazy because nurses and techs are the heart of this place. As a nurse you spend your day running behind all disciplines, coordinating all aspects of care, and correcting physicians mistakes.
Good nurses almost always leave for better paying jobs.
Travel nurses come in making $20+ more an hour than staff nurses, work bonus is almost $30 more an hour than new grad base pay. They can definitely afford to pay nurses more.
Time off is often denied which forces employees to call out and get penalized for it.

Cons

Suggestions are rarely taken seriously, all change moves at a snail's pace, very matrixed environment, provider-based culture fails to recognize errors made by providers, acute care focused-not up to par with changing healthcare environment of preventive focus.
