Pluspunten

Pay and benefits (outside of Victoria) are better than private sector

Minpunten

Workload is brutal Number of people taking stress leaves is astronomical Company talks the talk with assistance programs but doesn't even crawl the walk; they just don't care Jobs are silo'd and the skills you bring to the organization will atrophy with lack of use Bureaucracy is everywhere. If you have a good idea, keep it to yourself or you will be disappointed Company knows it is the only large employer on much of the island and there are always desperate people knocking at the door, so they suck the life out of the existing staff, knowing they can be easily replaced Every person I have met who has worked here more than a few years, hates coming to work Although unionized, the union is weak and the company for years has been undermining by making most new jobs contract or non-union. Don't expect any help.

Pluspunten

work can be fun, nice coworkers, nice patients sometimes,sometimes state of the art equipment, beautiful town.

Minpunten

Benefits are awful. No paid holidays. Comes from your own vacation. No benefits first 90 days so if you relocate you have no insurance. I came from King County. GET MEDICAID. Girlfriend gave me the advice but it was too late. Anacortes extremely expensive so everyone drives in from out of town. Management very strict on policy technicalities. Hospital has a bad reputation with the local population. Ask anyone in town. CEO has a 5 million dollar house, all the C levels are millionaires (check property values Skagit Cty) while many employees are on food stamps and can’t even afford the health insurance. Not flexible with schedules, taking time off is hard bc so short staffed. Time off is looked down upon by mgmt. They will never take your side: patient complained about me and I tried explaining my side of the story and they did not want to hear it. Wasn’t even my patient!! The salary is low for the cost of living, and the hospital spends money like crazy for management salaries and surgery robots they don’t even use (seriously!). Turnover very high. People get fired all the time for unexplained reasons. My manager was amazing and was overworked and had to leave and the hospital did not care at all.
