Pros

HCA has Hospitals in many locations allowing easy move access

Cons

Lost personal touch with too many re-org, long term employees dont mean anything to them other than cut them out to pay someone less. This company use to care but slowly has become very cold and years of service dont mean anything. All that matters are high ranking titles showing you who is boss.

Good place to get hospital experience.

Stressful environment, no transparency in salaries, no career ladder. Upper management seems very detached. High turnover in Nursing staff. No profit shares, unless you count buying stock. No bonuses.
