Pros

There really are none. Maybe the exception that parking is provided and there is an on site clinic and pharmacy.

Cons

Employees are just a number. No respect. Worked beyond exhaustion. Executive leadership that leads through intimidation and fear. Too many people in leadership positions who are no where close to being qualified for their jobs.

The lady that hired me on didn't want to negotiate my pay not only that she was really nasty the only reason toke the job is because its close to home and it was a permanent position. I dont like how Im the only one in my group with low pay.

Pros

Great work experience if you want to be in healthcare, many different career opportunities if you are able to move up.

Cons

The job itself can be highly stressful & the pay did not match the level of intelligence & compassion needed for this type of job. The systems & processes were difficult to navigate and finding the correct information was time consuming. Management is a hit or miss. Some were helpful & considerate but most were absent, overworked or dismissive of concerns.
