Pros
The pay is decent for the area, and ever since Orlando Health acquired this dumpster fire, the facilities have received improvements and we are receiving bonuses and new equipment.
Cons
general lack of accountability from staff, arrogant intensivists, and toxic female leadership: typical healthcare environment. Work nights if you can. At least you can avoid most of it.
