Pros

Some of the nurses genuinely love their job and care for the patients you can tell who is around just for a paycheck and who is around because they love what they do. The PTO and tuition reimbursement is reasonable.

Cons

Management doesn’t listen to concerns and there is zero support. You will be expected to do insurance authorization for 25% less than the market rate for that job. Instead of doing what a physical rehab rehabilitation aide is supposed to do. Why is department productivity placed in the responsibility of an entry-level? You will also be trained by a passive aggressive woman that has no business being a mentor. You can prove her wrong in something and she will find a way to make it your fault and that you are still incorrect. Easily one of the worst jobs I’ve ever had. Not only in the medical field, but in any field. This place has single-handedly made me rethink my career path.

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.
