Pros

Salary is competitive, Benefits are competitive. Possibility of learning.

Cons

Only thing you need to be successful here is , how good you are to become dirty player politically. How much you can flatter. Training opportunities are None . Managers will not pay you for any training, Even will send their favorite people to trainings even they are not part of that job. Force you to enter the bogus training hours. Competencies are not required , only flattering. Most of the people are promoted from ground level and they don't know how to behave or work like professional. Personal comments, talking on the back of each other, calling bad names and humiliate other people. Bosses are bullies . Will not let you have piece of mind. If you live on east side,will force you to work on west side. No team work, colleagues will tell on you to get closer to managers. Employees are forced to work during their family time with no comp time.

Pros

The patient population can be very rewarding to work with, and there can be lots of different job opportunities but very limited advancement with mainly lateral department shifts if a person is looking for change.

Cons

Raises are almost non-existent. The "raise" is a yearly COLA of between 2%-3%. There is no ability to talk to anyone regarding a raise, even the admin staff are fully stonewalled in the overlly corporate monolithic HR style of maintaining "fair" wages. I have worked here for several years and I actually earn less now because my "raises" do not keep up with inflation and the actual cost of living. They maintain their functionality on squeezing as much as they can out of one employer by slowly shifting more job responsibilities called "opportunities" onto you without extra pay or change in title that would get a pay increase. They look to higher level licensed staff to provide more coverage for roles that they won't hire for or cut in departments. They do "organizational restructuring" every 6 months because more staff quit, they don't replace the staff, and tell others to absorb the former FT employees job responsibilities without pay increase and being told not to go into OT.
