Pros
- Genuinely caring coworkers. - Valuable hands-on clinical experience and bedside manner practice. - 3 x 12 hour shifts per week and flexible scheduling.
Cons
- Coworker culture varies between offices (some more hostile than others), but is largely driven by exhaustion, passive-aggressive avoidance, and guilt. - Microaggressive or bigoted providers are not formally or seriously reprimanded by management. - Providers are frequently verbally abusive, quick to talk behind coworkers' backs, pick favorites, and will bully staff to the point of quitting. Underhanded gossip is preferred over honest face-to-face constructive criticism. - Lack of transparency or care from higher management regarding work conditions, fair wages, and company culture. Management exists for pleasantry and not efficacy. - Training is the burden of other employees and is wildly inconsistent and even dangerously inaccurate between offices. - No considerations for higher pay and meager compensation for new-hire trainers. Little to no opportunity for vertical movement. - High employee turnover rate.
