Facility is old and in great need of repair, very low quality service staff (cleaning, nutrition, etc), pay is lower compared to other area hospitals, professionalism among all employees (MDs, RNs, etc. included) is low

Teamwork, Hardworking co-workers, Unionized, fast-paced

Understaffed, way too many patients for one hospital to handle, rough patient population (who can be very abusive to staff), lots of room for unsafe practices, just so draining it will burn you out.. and the pay sucks (I make more in an office setting now)
