Pros

The patients and field staff are excellent.

Cons

Upper management is clueless. They make decisions about elements of patient care that are money driven, not quality driven. Current pharmacy service is a joke. There is no pharmacist overseeing orders that are placed. Staff have to take PTO if they want a holiday - there are no paid holidays like Christmas or New Years. Management however does have paid holidays. Health insurance is awful. One employee had to pay a surgeon $5,000 up front before he would do her cholecystectomy. Another pays $180 for a simple doctors visit. A home health aid has filed for bankruptcy because of the health bills. All management cares about are numbers of patients and making money.

Pros

Rewarding to help patients and families. No direct patient contact. Good clinical support.

Cons

Extreme micromanagement. Non clinical leadership lacking understanding as to what Triage Nurses do and that not all calls are the same. Management by Exception practiced based on favoritism. Revolving door of Triage Nurses leaving and new hires requiring weeks of training resulting in the department being chronically understaffed.
