Pros

Pay was ok Yep pay only.

Cons

Terrible management that is is always trying to impress itself. They are afraid of of upper management, afraid of loosing patients and afraid of losing their jobs, hence they walk around scared and intimidate the subordinates. Layoffs are common as they try to show they are"managing". They try to appear "happy" but it is a facade that hides the behind doors unrest and unhappiness.

Pros

Only if you negotiated good contract with them otherwise they'll take shirt off your back. Sorry, couldn't reveal the correct state but close.

Cons

My own experience and others who have first hand knowledge of their decision making, at least ones down south, but no reason to believe it's not rampant in their culture (ie they were sued for millions a while back), profit is bottom line at workers and patients expense. I've seen such a high staff turnover rate in their clinic, they don't support their own ex-employees looking to work in another locations (not talking about myself), its the color of your skin that matters and seems age is a factor too, too old you're out of luck. Clinic atmosphere of fear among staff of being fired and whispering when management is not there of their true thoughts. I have friends of all races and what I saw while working there makes me vomit. Go to HR for discrimination, haha, also don't post any anonymous reviews of them when they request as the truth it's not really anonymous. I will never work for this place, minorities beware and non-minorities you are expendable too if you're on the bottom rung of their hierarchy.

Pros

Presently, it is very hard to give pros on my job. The only pros are related to the other bedside nurses that I work with. Many of them continue to give good care and stand up for what is right for the patient despite the criticism they receive from the management and lack of support from the management.

Cons

They say they have open communication throughout al levels of management. Yes, you can talk to anyone and they listen but they never resolve issues or problems. They are all about the all mighty dollar and care little for their employees. The management is never accountable for their mistakes but tend to place blame on employees when things do not work. They are the worst hospital management I have ever worked under as an RN. Bottom line is they actually do not care about patient care- just if they are making money. They have nursing staff ratio to patients is high. They do not use acuity of patient to calculate nurse to patient ratio- though JCAHO is starting to recognize that better patient outcomes are found is lower patient to nurse ratio. HCA is not about patient care just about making money at the cost of their employees and the patients.
