Pros

I have a wonderful supply of meaningful work and time flies!

Cons

Nepotism, racism and disrespect. Those who are friends working in Management are apt to treat budget as their personal piggie bank. Its worse than nepotism in my opinion.

Pros

Excellent sick/annual leave and paid holidays. Not allowed to work more than 37.5 hours per week (no forced OT or long hours). Laid back environment.

Cons

Little room for advancement if you don't work in the Nashville area. If you are a hard worker you tend to get "scolded" by the seasoned employees that tell you that you need to work at a slower pace because you make others look lazy.

Pros

Generous time off. Hard to get fired.

Cons

Hard to get fired, thus retaining awful, entitled employees. Lack of staff. Mean staff. Unprofessional work environment. The state is cheap, meaning cheap products for the patients. The salary does not even BEGIN to compete with private hospitals. The insurance is so-so. They make up their own rules per facility and don't follow the policies implemented in Nashville. They hire their family members which can pose potential conflicts.
