Pros

Benefits. But Novant stops paying for your health insurance if you develop a serious medical problem.

Cons

Pay rate is way below market average. Traveler nurses get paid two times more than us and expected to do less. There is no work-life balance. Every week I'm supposed to spend at least 8 hours of my free time to keep up with in-service classes. Management has no idea what is going on on the floor. All the equipment are neglected and malfunctions, failure of the computers etc are an essential part of our daily work. I've been working as a critical care nurse for Novant for 5 years. This year I got 99 cents raise which made my salary $32/hour. When I wanted to transfer to another unit, they said my pay rate would be 29 dollars an hour there. They said they didn't have money to pay us because they spent too much on travel nurses. Today I gave my 30 days' notice and I'm leaving for an agency.

Pros

Of all the companies I have worked for Novant has been the best experience. I moved back into leadership after years of having stepped back from leadership due to burnout and frustration. Novant invests more than any company I have seen in both frontline and leader development, with cohesive messaging about priorities. I truly enjoy the teams I work with.

Cons

IT was moved to overseas a few years back. They back-pedaled on this and moved some aspects back to domestic coverage, but overall, I can't see where this improves operational efficiency despite surface level savings.
