Pros

There is nothing good about this place

Cons

Absolutely worst health care facility I have ever worked at. Management is horrible, HR and onboarding/orientation is an absolute joke, the EMR system is a dinosaur and the facility is so run down and dirty. They can’t keep experienced nurses because the place is so poorly managed. It’s staffed by garbage contract nurses that are over paid and couldnt keep a job as core nurses anywhere else, and baby nurses fresh out of nursing school that think they know it all. One of the paramedics thinks he runs the place and management allows it. It is really sad that this place is the state’s only level one trauma center. The ER side has a community triage and treatment area for lower acuity patients that violates all kinds of regulations. Just a horrible place to work.

Pros

Workplace Culture and Team Collaboration: Many employees appreciate the supportive, family-like atmosphere and strong teamwork within their teams and across departments. They value the camaraderie, inclusivity, and mutual respect that foster a positive work environment focused on patient care. Meaningful Work and Patient Impact: Employees find motivation and satisfaction in knowing their work directly or indirectly improves patient care and community health. This sense of purpose is a significant driver of engagement.

Cons

Degree Requirements and Career Advancement: Many employees express concern that strict degree requirements, especially for IT roles, hinder career progression and demoralize experienced staff without degrees. There is a strong preference for recognizing equivalent experience or certifications in lieu of formal degrees to promote internal mobility and retain talent.
