Pros

Beautiful Area, Friendly people,

Cons

The pay is a joke, if cost of living is factored. The area is a beautiful mountain tourist spot, where 50yr old 2bed/1Ba houses (800 sq ft) cost $250,000. The nursing staff barely makes $20 hr and the Phlebotomist avg. $10 hr, benefit package they rave about, really amounts to squat. Our health incentives have been slashed. Last month nobody earned PTO again and raises haven't been given in years.

Pros

Great nurses, resilient community, many leadership growth opportunities, large hospital with many specialties, the only level 1 trauma center in WNC.

Cons

The hours are very challenging. often 5am to 6pm M-F. No additional compensation for extra hours, nights, or on-call weekends. You must love the work, and have minimal need for work-life balance to enjoy working here.
