Pros

Very limited on Pros. Had alot of potential until management was unable to maintain.

Cons

Lousy management when present (most moved or got fired), limited advancement unless out of state, Outdated models of clinical applications compared to other companies. Meditech being a primary example. Windows XP being another example. Alot of revolving doors in the particular facility I speak of and "duct-tape" fixing instead of doing it right.

Pros

Great fellow staff members They support each other.

Cons

HCA used to be a great place to work, but in recent years they have made deep cuts in benefits. We no longer have sickness pay. They bought us a short term disability policy that is supposed to pay us after 1st week of illness. Sedgewick is slow to process claims and quick to deny. Many great nurses are leaving for better paying jobs with better benefits.

Cons

There is a limited upside to create a career path. There is no incentive bonus structure. There is little to no guidance on advancement opportunity in the company.
