Pros

Good pay and benefits some of the best you will find in most areas in the USA. Minimal to no experience needed. Promotion opportunity is there. All the hours you can ever want to work if you want them. If they need people for extended hospital stays they put you up in a hotel and pay for food and gas if you use your vehicle but usually you have a company vehicle.

Cons

Staff do not follow rules with company vehicles and due to large shortages there is no repercussions for them. Overtime is forced on you a lot due to shortage of staff. Good if your single you can back a lot when your get 2 and 3 thousand dollar pay checks just don't expect to see your family much.

Good work environment. Not too dangerous but at the end of the day it is a prison. Good PTO and sick leave

Staff can be an issue just come and do your job and stay out of drama.
