Pros

Patients are my favorite, I loved helping with care of each and every one, even the ones I lost. The physicians are great, some are better than others. The front desk staff is extremely helpful. I always appreciated everything they did for me. The resources available for the patients was quite impressive (in-house dietician, oncology RN's that work 1:1 with physicians for clinical trials, coffee, juice, water, vending machine, comfortable infusion chairs, warm blankets. Clean facility.

Cons

Management is an incredible joke, I had this situation happen below and my manager LITERALLY stared at me like I had 10 eyeballs. I don't care if you have 40 years as an RN, if you look at me and tell me, "So what am I supposed to do about it?" You need to pack up and retire. Jesus. I had a physician scream at me in the hallway in front of patient rooms because at least 10 of his patients re-scheduled. He is habitually 2 hours late for clinic. He doesn't understand (or maybe doesn't care) that some of his patients are critically ill and have made a lot of sacrifices to be at their appointment AND on time. He is very condescending, unprofessional, treats the staff like we are incompetent, yelling is actually a pretty common thing for him. You're lucky if you can get him in his office where you can at least shut the door to make sure no patients can hear him. "HR" which consists of 1 person in the office and unofficially the office "administrator" is very biased, choses sides and almost encourages staff gossip, arguments and unnecessary drama because she does NOTHING about it. I can't even begin to describe the amount of inappropriate things that they say about patients, the physicians and management. I don't know how they have time to sit there and talk, I was so busy I barely had time to use the bathroom and was always staying after hours to finish up clinic.

Pros

Nice small neighborhood hospital with many big hospital finds

Cons

When Amita health took them over, that's when it went down the tubes but now that this relationship is broken up, they are back on top especially having U of Chicago behind them
