Pros

I worked with some truly amazing people that cared about their work, the betterment of the organization, and ultimately the patient care they indirectly impacted.

Cons

I worked with a very toxic leadership team that did not care about anyone except for themselves or the drama that they thrived on. They did not care about the mission of the organization or the team members that they had the privilege of supervising. There were numerous opportunities for corporate leadership and/or HR to address this but the ball was dropped and it took a long time to actually conduct a thorough investigation to hold individuals accountable for their behavior.

Pros

There are none. They do not value nurses.

Cons

I need to share to help my fellow nurses out there: The CEO of HCA, Samuel Hazen, was compensated $14,637,726 in 2022. That is a CEO to median worker pay ratio of 254:1. My job application was just rejected. On the application, it asked what my salary expectation was. Keep in mind, there was ZERO pay information listed. I went (way) low and put $30/hr. For an RN. With 11+ yrs of experience. And I was asking for TOO much! We are worth more than this. HCA does not care about their employees.
