Vantaggi
I work in the OR. This is a relatively large hospital. Maybe there are decent departments to work for here but not the OR. The pros are only that (hopefully) change is coming. Wuesthoff was recently purchased by a much larger corporation called CHS. This new company is one of the largest in the country. Some small changes have already been implemented and I can only hope that many more are to come.
Svantaggi
In the OR, there is no teamwork. Only us versus them. The current OR at Wuesthoff is split in half between newer people (who have been with the company for a year or less, myself included) & tenured people who have been with the company ten years or more. The tenured people run the show not allowing any new ideas or thoughts. The world of medicine changes every day and this type of attitude only holds the company back. Anything deemed 'not the Wuesthoff way' is forbidden even if it would improve cost savings, or organization and even if it would benefit patient safety. The company insists on doing things 'the way they've always done them, period'.
