Pros

-You are able to commiserate with your peers -You will spend time doing and re-doing the same thing over and over

Cons

-Lack of decisive senior leadership -Lack of vision and strategy (there is a mission statement but there's no discernible vision or strategy) -Lack of effective communication -Lack of experienced talent (at all levels) -Toxic work environment and culture (leadership creates and instills a culture of fear and does not tolerate mistakes) -Too many meetings with no actionable outcomes (therefore you will revisit the same topic over and over; sense a consistent theme here?) -No one will look at or use the tools you build; new processes you implement are quickly abandoned -High level of frustration among the junior and mid-level staff and low overall morale -Extremely high turn over in the NY office

Pros

Rowan is truly a special place to work. It’s rare to find a company that blends clinical standards, meaningful human connection, and a genuine sense of celebration the way Rowan does. The mission is clear, and leadership consistently reinforces a culture where safety, quality, and experience go hand in hand. There’s a strong emphasis on training and development—whether you’re new or experienced, you’re supported with clear standards, hands-on learning, and access to knowledgeable leaders who are always willing to guide and elevate you. The Nurse Leadership Team is incredibly collaborative and passionate, and there’s a real investment in making sure field teams feel confident and set up for success. What stands out most is the people. The culture is positive, fast-paced, and rooted in accountability and care. There’s a shared understanding that we’re not just providing a service—we’re creating lasting experiences for our customers. Growth is happening quickly, which creates exciting opportunities to evolve, contribute, and make an impact. I'm looking forward to taking advantage of growth opportunities they have to offer nurses.

Cons

As with any rapidly growing company, things evolve quickly. Priorities and processes may shift as the business continues to scale, which requires flexibility and adaptability. That said, leadership does a strong job of communicating changes and aligning teams to move forward together.

Pros

You’re not working bedside, customers were fun!

Cons

Constant policy changes from money hungry corporate members, not DEI friendly at all, they don’t care that a lot of their jewelry that’s “solid gold” tarnishes… everything is extremely over priced. Not all nurses are good at piercing but Rowan doesn’t care as long as they make their money… I’ve had to fix peircings from nurses in other studios that were literally done through the smallest thinnest layer of skin. If you don’t fit their image you’re not going to get appreciated even if you are amazing at your job. Honestly as a nurse you’d be better off working aesthetics or something.
