Who they are
You are looking at Phillips Infrastructure in Knoxville, Tennessee. What we can say with confidence is mostly about the place you would live and drive, not about a documented unit culture or pay band on this employer yet.
More about Phillips Infrastructure
Tennessee charges no state income tax, and Knoxville’s cost of living sits about 7% below the national level, so rent, groceries, and a starter mortgage stretch further than they do in many nurse markets. Compact-license RNs can work in the state without a second full license process. West Knoxville and Maryville come up often when people pick a neighborhood; the average commute is about 20 minutes, and you will want a reliable car because transit is thin and traffic stacks up. We do not yet have validated pay ranges, ratios, residency, or EHR detail for Phillips Infrastructure itself. Nearby names in the same market include Turkey Creek Medical Center, Covenant Health, East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, and Select Medical if you are mapping options side by side.

The reality check
Before you decide
Weighing a first job here?
The license clock and the job hunt run at once, and new-grad windows do the deciding. Residency commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
