Pros

Decent benefits but don't expect raises

Cons

I've worked here for some time and I will say that this place is so toxic. Manager barely speaks to you unless there is something wrong, Director always has some snarky remarks and the doctors go above and beyond to blame everything and anything on you without trying to understand the root of the problem. Healthcare in the last 2 years has become overwhelming in general but working in an environment where you're not valued makes it 10x worst
