Pros

No additional charge to add on immediate family onto your benefits. Organization pays for higher education; some coworkers started as a secretary or janitor. Offers better staff-to-patient ratios than the state standards. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Management was detached from hands-on experience, however, recently improved so this is not necessarily a con for this location.
