Pros

Daylight hours; close to home

Cons

Not given the tools to do the job. IT is the worst.. never had I ever worked in such a dysfunctional environment. Always short staffed because there is no disciplinary action that takes place; informed certain people are good workers but they call off a lot— regardless if your a good worker or not if you don’t come to work it’s not beneficial. Felt like I was set up for failure from the beginning. My personal opinion is they aren’t helping these patients just enabling them. Always informed we turn no one away regardless if it’s end of day or not… I get that but they are in it more for the numbers than patient care. Was informed if we don’t keep numbers up there will be layoffs. Training was a joke. Felt more micromanaged and just waiting to get called in the office for this or that. Seems like they hide a lot of stuff and don’t want a new set of eyes in their facility to call them out on their bull.

Pros

Pay is ok but generally low

Cons

There’s not enough space. Company phones forwarded to my phone after hours for three CTC’s, I’m expected to work and be available without ever taking time off. On vacation at 2am? Better take that dose verification call. Alarms broken and cops need to show up at 1am and search for 2 hours and you still need to be in by 6am? That’s this place
