Vantaggi
-Really smart, kind, skilled medical staff -Great patient care (given in spite of the obstacles) -Team mentality, for the most part (depending on your shift)
Svantaggi
-Turnover in administration leads to ever increasing, conflicting, and unnecessary rule changes (I've had more managers than I can count on two hands in the last 7 years) -Re-hiring +/- promotion of unprofessional, even incompetent and dishonest, people to both administrative and bedside roles. Watch your back. -All stick, no carrot atmosphere -Favoritism/nepotism -Training and education are non-existent -Breaks? LOL. You'll be lucky if you get one but you'll have to jump through hoops and get scolded if you don't pretend you did. -Reliance on temporary/traveling staff: I stopped learning new coworkers' names when we got a traveler administrator; what's the point? They don't stick around. Expect to be asked to train them, though. -Pay and benefits have stalled which is a problem in the most expensive city in the country (unless you don't live here. See: traveling staff problem). WELCOME TO CPMC!!! :)
