Vantaggi
Fairfax is a gorgeous hospital with a lot of really good staff. It really is world class healthcare and I would take my family there over any other hospital, anywhere. Most of the clinical and support staff are fabulous and work well together. The benefits are decent, the scholarship and tuition assistance is great, and the PTO and holidays are fair (if you can actually use your PTO).
Svantaggi
Although the nursing staff and the experience (if I were to be a patient) would be very positive, actually working there and seeing what happens behind the scenes is a whole other story. The middle management is truly toxic and really do promote cliques or "popular people" who are usually toxic, themselves. There is no support for "unpopular" staff who are feeling targeted and the poisonous venom seems to infiltrate behind the scenes and up the chain. HR does not work for you, they work with the middle managers like mean school kids bullying someone on the bus. Any promises or guarantees of confidentiality are absolutely not true. Any internal complaints are laughed at or dismissed. When there is that environment, it is very difficult to trust anything, or anyone. I worked there a long time and things did change dramatically when Steve Narang came. I truly hope he doesn't know or tolerate the behavior of his juvenile middle managers or HR. They are a disgrace.
