Pros

Most of the people I work with are great and this includes patients. The manager is not strong at all. While I think he is concerned about us personally, there is so much pressure on him from those just above him that he has to do paperwork and worry about money first, not about an employee's mother's dying etc. He just gets squished by the big guys and we have to solve our own problems like staffing, patient complaint complaints etc. When we should have some manager guidance.

Cons

Management does not care about the little people, and they are the backbone of the organization. Very small raises, less than fifty cents each for the nurses the past two years. We have staffing problems, if one person is out that person is not replaced and it causes a lot of stress and strain on the rest of the staff.

Pros

Patient connections is rewarding work, great hands on experience, paid on the job training, training for PCTs is at least consistent.

Cons

12+ hour long hours, emotionally and physically taxing, unqualified management, poor communication, inconsistent scheduling, high turn over, very little amount of opportunity for movement within the company despite preaching that they encourage it. The culture and values are heavily spoken about with little to no enforcement. The position requires significant dedication to learn all the moving parts of the clinic.
