Poor Pay

Licensed practical nurse (lpn)

Business Outlook

Pros

Good co-workers. Office location is close to home. Supervisor is fair-AT TIMES ( she also has her clique at other times). Scheduling yourself is nice, get 40 hours a week and all is good.

Cons

The pay is absolutely horrible. Some of us have been nurses 30 years and barely make $20 an hour. Private companies are paying $22 straight out the gate. This company is huge so the pay could be so much more and do better benefits. While I am thankful for the bonus this year, an across the board raise for staff would be do much better. Of course then our insurance would probably go up so you cant win. Also, when they say they give you holiday pay, That is not so. You have to use your PTO in order to get paid. Thats ridiculous they arent giving you anything.
