Pros

The pros of course is that HCA is a large organization; there are lots of room and opportunity for advancements.

Cons

The cons are that there are a lot on politics and nonsense that goes on at many of there different facilities. When they do figure out there is a problem within upper management it is often times too late and they loose a lot of great people in the process.

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are ok, but they can be very expensive if you are a part time worker. Company is stable meaning not lay offs. It is a huge company so it is easy to transfer to other states.

Cons

To climb up a ladder you need to know someone but you don't need to know anything! Managers frequently promote their friends not the most qualified person to do the job.

Pros

Great team. Great direct management.

Understaffed, low starting pay, high turnover, refuses to adequately staff and fills positions temporarily with minimal number of contract and agency RNs. I love who I work with but burnout rate is extremely high.
