management is lacking in skills and experience

Pros

starting pay is high for many, scheduling is pretty flexible, coworkers are there to commiserate with, management is approachable, benefits are decent

Cons

annual raises are laughable. when building occupancy is low, hours get cut to save money with no regard from management as to how it effects employees or patients (youre still expected to get 40 hrs of work done when youre only allowed to work 32 hours.) management is full of rich yuppies or entitled new college grads who have never had to work a real job or worry about money. everything is done to save money, cut costs. patients laughed at by management behind closed doors. dangerous cost cutting measures in place.

Pros

The staff works well together. The pay is good. PTO accumulates fairly quickly. The computer system point click care is easy to use.

Cons

High turnover rate. Some of the management staff don't help out. Continously running out of supplies to be able to do your job. Procedure change constantly due to frequent changes in management.
