Pros

The benefits are decent and have a variety to choose from.

Cons

I technically worked for Sarah Cannon but was under the HCA Corporation. The employees got the same benefits as HCA employees and were treated as HCA employees. I worked as a patient care technician on the evening shift and went to back to school to do data science. My plans were to stay with HCA and/or Sarah Cannon after finishing my master's. I applied for jobs that related to my degree and couldn't even get an interview as an internal applicant. I tried to get promoted to a different position several times and got denied. They don't promote within unless you know someone that can get you the position. I even did the tuition reimbursement thinking I could get another position within the company. Now I have to pay it back because I didn't fulfill my time obligation. Your total time at the company doesn't count. It starts from when you received the tuition benefits, which is ridiculous. The companies that I have worked for consider your entire time with them. Also, they hire in new employees at higher rates and don't adjust current employees' wages.

Pros

There some flexibility with scheduling and they let you pick up as many shifts as you want and pretty much your own schedule.

Cons

Very poorly managed, chronically understaffed but managers are dismissive and deny it. The support from staff is inconsistent, the staff nurses are either fresh new grads or very bitter nurses who don’t want to help and expect you to handle everything by yourself as a tech. Most nurses here are PRN’s on contracts that get floated so it’s really hard to expect consistency in the staff you work with and build trusting relationships. Management will promise to train you as a unit secretary but will never follow up. They also agree to help you get opportunities for learning and growth but refuse to follow up or forget about it altogether, despite reminders. It’s not a priority. If your goal is to grow and learn more this is not the place. It’s running on fumes at 95% of the time. Very high turnover, we struggle to keep staff. They’ll call you in to pick up when they’re understaffed with no incentive or something minimal like “swag” (some gear). Very poorly compensated and you will not be appreciated for the hard work you do. Also it took 2 months for them to get me started despite numerous attempts to reach the HR, Management etc.
