Pros

Insurance benefits, paid time off

Cons

Bullying from management, no support from management, dangerous conditions in which patients are encouraged to fight before receiving medication. Management knowingly puts staff at risk then blames you for being involved in incidents with dangerous criminals. Nurses go to work there when they can't hack it at real hospitals.
