Pros

Good culture, good tech. People are friendly and a pleasant place to work.

Cons

Still has big corporation problems like open nepotism. I left because my manager was very unqualified, the other applicants for the position were extremely qualified, the unqualified manager who got hired didn't know what he was doing, so built in administrative overhead into all our tasks, which made a 5 minute task turn into a 30 minute, due to have to write an essay for every bit of work you do. He wasn't a bad guy, just had no business being the position he was in. HCA Healthcare is also bad for America, doesn't matter what political spectrum you are on, data is data, and for profit health care is more expensive than public or nonprofit, but there is not any evidence it is higher quality. Profit incentive is also at conflict with health care services. If the goal of the hospital is to turn a profit, then all other factors are going to be lower priorities.

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.
