A rewarding job with learning and growth opportunities
Pros
Many dedicated long term staff that truly care about the individuals; stable client population; full benefits package including health, vision, dental, and life insurance, 401k match; strong training program at start of employment; wages higher than nearly all of the competitors in the area; the most stable and largest company in the state makes for a very stable career opportunity.
Cons
turnover is lower than it was when I worked in healthcare (about half), but still higher than hoped for; on call requirement for management - there is an ebb and flow - I might get almost no calls for weeks and weeks, and then get a whole lot; have to be able to work independently and manage a schedule, and lead a staff team - that can be hard for some people to do. (A lot of people who leave then try to come back when they realize the job was actually a job they miss, and when they do not find comparable jobs or benefits elsewhere.)
