Pros

There are people here who truly care about their work and how it ultimately affects patient care.

Cons

There are more people who play office politics, take credit for others' work and spend more time getting help from other people to do their jobs behind-the-scenes. People come in, work for a while to make the right connections then move into a higher tiered job and leave a complete mess behind them. You have to use personal days for sick time, so forget having a vacation if you're sick (it wasn't like this when we had EIB days) Insurance benefits are now laughable since you pay a premium price for the top insurance, but then still have to pay $500 out of pocket for *every family member* before the benefits kick in. HR could do better, but it seems Finance just wants to cut, cut, cut and have employees 'deal with it' - upper management in those areas have totally lost touch with how their decisions are adversely affecting their employees and ultimately the patients that HCA is supposed to serve.

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.
