Pros

The Job is Perfect for me

Cons

You will be Mandated. I Hate It, I would love to complete my shift and go home.

Pros

- Staff helps each other out when it conveniences them - Company pays completely for furthering education after 1 year of employment.

Cons

- Management undermines their employees in the unit and call it motivation - There is a lack of trust among staff that can create a negative environment - As an employee you are micromanaged all the time - Favoritism among employees if you do not please certain staff they will claim not being a "fit" -Management gives indirect feedback to employees -orientation is not truly orientation it is a probationary period, preceptor should not be assisting too much if any at all despite this being a teaching hospital. - Highly demanding work with many hoops to jump through

Pros

The medical center is great with cordial staff and physicians. Health insurance is good if you visit doctors in Rush MEDICAL

Cons

It's not a great place for research. The core facility is from zero to none. Labs are run by technicians, so postdocs are not relevant in the setting. The lab I worked in was only focused on getting grants. They had zero interest in good-quality publications. Although the doctor PIs do not have much experience in wet lab work, they pretend to know everything and look down on Ph.D. scientists. The salary for postdocs is very very poor!

Pros

Very good and professional management team. Good education benefits for those looking to advance their career.

Cons

Medical benefits aren’t that great. Employees have to pay for their parking.

Pros

good- not a too big place- friendly- good location- good insurance

Cons

lower salary- complicated buildings - paying by hours

Pros

Challenging envoirment that will stretch you and push you to better yourself.

Cons

Long and hard hours. High SLA.

Pros

-Supportive Management - my current manager advocates for me and my team ensuring that we have adequate staffing and resources for us to do our job successfully during a 12 hr night shift. She and the assistant unit director ensure that they are readily available for any issues that my arise during the shift. They make sure to cultivate an positive work environment of respect and collaboration despite being a busy general medical unit. This is very important in keeping staff and reducing turnover. - Collaborative and Positive work environment - Rush instills its ICARE values to each and every employee to promote a professional environment where all employees can thrive in their roles. Nurses have many opportunities to join hospital-wide or unit-based committees, making sure our concerns are heard and action is taken to rectify problems. - Adequate and thorough training - My unit leadership ensures that you are well prepared to handle emergencies and different responsibilities as a nurse, charge training included, rather than being "thrown" into the role without prior notice. -Tuition Reimbursement - Rush fully pays for tuition for nurses going back for a graduate or advance practice degree. -Decent medical insurance - Great value for money for medical care when you're under the rush medical plan and use rush physicians and facilities for care. 403b plan with Pension - Not all hospitals offer a pension on top of a 403, and I am grateful to be a part of an organization that values its employees to a high regard. COVID crisis pay- if an employee tests positive and quarantine is needed, you are paid your wage from a separate budget, PTO is not affected due to being quarantined.

Cons

- PTO can be better, a separate sick/ holiday accrual bank is highly appreciated in addition to a regular "Time off" bank. -Despite using a self scheduling system, you don't always get the hours you need/want, so effort is required in asking for shift switches with a colleague.

Pros

No weekend or evening hours, personal cubicle space, great coffee selection, amazing physicians to learn from

Cons

Quiet promotions without pay raise, gaslighting, managers openly threatening your position in email, racist comments from managers in front of public

Pros

Get great benefits and co workers are usually great companions

Cons

The management is horrible, HR does not help out either if there are issues
