Pros

Work with some of the most compassionate, caring, smart, and funny coworkers you will ever meet. They have a true passion for their jobs and the patients and families. Company's #1 motto is "Patients and families come first." And they do because that is just who these people are.

Cons

The #2 motto is "We take care of each other". Not true. We work every holiday except the big 3 - and we are forced to take PTO. No sick leave, terrible health benefits, raises limited to 2%. Management feels it is better to give half-truths and vague answers than ever address employee concerns on everything from salaries, workplace bullies, staff turnover, vacation scheduling or workload balancing. And anyone who brings concerns to the attention of management is labeled a complainer and dismissed.

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.
