Pros
It was a great hospital to work at and very huge. It’s a really busy facility. I was hired to work with the vaccination part but we were behind the scenes while the nurses proceed with giving out the shots to the people of Oregon www
Cons
Cost of living was very expensive and seeing those homelessness in the city was an eye sore as well
