>Increased risk of catching Covid by nature of the work. Most of my time caught it at least once from the job site.
>Lack of communication between Curative staff and Yoh employees and sometimes between Curative upper and lower management. The biggest example is the sheer number of times we were laid off with 0 to 2 days of notice. This was not a local phenomenon. Scroll through the Slack and you'll see a history of this happening in every region. My site lead never knew about the layoffs before I did. And yes, they will still expect two weeks notice from you if you want to quit.
>The way middle management treats Yoh employees makes you really feel how close you are to being randomly let go at any given time.
>Most sites offer the bare minimum to meet their due diligence toward you. There's no way to store food unless it's room temperature. Most sites require you to use other business's bathrooms. If your site does have a bathroom of its own, it won't have running water so you have to use only hand sanitizer all day and you'll have a thick, sticky layer of it on you by the end of the shift.
>It seemed like whoever assigned the trainings didn't consider who was getting them and how often. As a site specialist, you're expected to take some of the same training as the people who sit in offices in California. The upside of the repeated training is that you'll know what you're doing by the time you're in the relevant situation--I've been made to train for rapid PCR tests alone at least five times.
>You'll only get any locally mandated PTO. Otherwise, they'll take advantage of you being a contractor to deny you.
>During peak testing, you take turns going outside to shout instructions to patients. This is probably over by now, but it's pretty awful when it's below freezing out and all you have are Hot Hands.
>A few patients take their bad day out on you no matter how kind you are to them. It's not a great job for the sensitive.
