Pros

Nurses, social workers, doctors, and mental health workers work well together. Good food from the cafeteria. Good doctors, who actually care about providing good care and work well with our nursing staff.

Cons

Administration is a mess and has no idea how to lead without threats, demands, random write-ups, call-offs and dismissal of staff who they want to punish for not being their puppets. Extreme nepotism with many people related to each other and dating / close to each other and getting bogus unearned and unqualified promotions. Everyone walks around on egg shells at this company, constantly looking for new jobs. Staff who hold the administrators and the other staff and the hospital accountable for safety matters, including state and federal hospital violations, are quickly called off their shifts or fired. There are serious and repeated violations of nursing standards which requires us to call CMS and Public Health and other entities to maintain patient care standards. Staff are hidden from the state and federal inspectors to hide concerns. New PRN staff without any real knowledge are called in as a smoke screen for inspectors. HR staff fired to destroy even basic HR standards towards employees. Staff are blamed issues due to lack of appropriate policy, procedure, and management. Always always short-staffed, dramatically compromising patient care. I am sure trouble will come for raising these real concerns; sadly the staff trying to get hired here need to be warned. So many good employees destroyed. Poor break room options, no hand wash stations - leading to spreads of diseases - and insufficient equipment, such as gloves and crash carts and O2. Many staff are poorly trained, then blamed for their training. Come trained or suffer from the system.

Pros

Employees care about the patients Staff with the exception of higher eschelon management are great people Good location Work is intellectually stimulating

Cons

Understaffing, understaffing, understaffing! Dangerous for both patients and floor staff. The CEO of the facility should be in the facility herself! If employees question the party line or express concern regarding unsafe staffing you are written up, intimated and harassed by the CEO. It is the epitome of a hostile work environment!!! They have gone through 5 DONs in 18 or so months and currently don't have one. Again, unsafe! They only care about the almighty dollar not the patients, though listening to management speak you would think it is priority one. When words are incongruent with action that is the very definition of a liar. Hope they have good legal counsel because someone whether it be a patient ir employee is going to sue for big money!
