Great Benefits from a company that tries to take care of it's employees

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits. Strong union. The company seems to truly care about the well being of its staff. It has been a great company to work for.

Cons

Hard to get time off as a nurse. Often times you may get hired into an "on call" position without benefits, after 2000 hours it is easy to transfer into a benefited position. Sometimes department managers are not nice to work with (depends on your manager).
