Pros

Pay is good. There is not much that is good about this company. Struggling to find anything good to say.

Cons

Management and staff do not work together. Senior management is disconnected from staff and not engaged at all with the employees. Employees do not know who the senior leaders are. A little more money is NOT worth it. They own you. Benefits are not great. Accrual of PTO is slow.

Pros

HCA provides great benefits. PTO includes sick and holiday pay. Great medical benefits.

Cons

Long term employees seem to have a sense of entitlement. They may not realize how good they have it as compared to other health care organization who have cut benefits throughout the years.

Employees feel like Just another pawn in the big for profit chess game- you are not valuable nor are your opinions!

Pros

401k is acceptable and PTO comparable . Benefits exist for continued education and renewal of certifications. Satisfaction in knowing your commitment to patient care is acknowledged ...

Cons

Not 100% vested until 5-6 years of service for 401k, requesting PTO frowned upon by lower / immediate management and needs to be well in advance- a year- sometimes denied depending on staffing! Lower management not familiar with HR policies for continued education benefits or PTO cash out procedures... Lower management can lead one astray just because lack of knowledge in CURRENT policies!! Employees asked their opinion for improvement ideas but then shunned!! Upper management disconnected with daily operations! Numbers driven management!!! AND SO ON
