Cons

We are a little overworked and underpaid. We also have little flexibility with PTO. We also only have one bank of PTO, no sick days, etc.

Cons

Worked under contract which expired

Cons

Difficult place to work. Too much chaos and a lack of strategic leadership to improve.

Cons

- Most patients are either VERY RUDE or VERY SICK or BOTH. Lots of frequent fliers.
- Management cares more about BUDGET rather than EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION
- Acuity is very HIGH, expect to always be busy.
- Staffing Ratios, especially nightshift, are very high. Especially in Med/surg
- Can't laterally trasfer to a different department if you have a written warning on anything within 6 months.
- High turnover rate
- lots of employee burn-outs
- Not a lot of opportunities to move up

Cons

Wished we were paid more.

Cons

High school like work atmosphere with gossip, cliques, and sucking up to management to advance. NO ONE you work with can be trusted and managers get vindictive when you don't "play along". Departments regularly "reorganize" to get rid of people (Community Health). There were ~ 10 employee changes for a team of ~ 15 in a little over a year in my former department, with the oldest/over age 50 people in the group not reassigned. ALL the Blacks let go too. That's a leadership and discrimination issue. Absolutely the work work environment I've ever experienced and in a hospital setting and there's no doubt that it trickles down to patient care.
