Pros

Easy way to get into healthcare if you have little to no experience

Cons

Low pay, long and taxing hours, no control over your schedule, poor work / life balance, demanding management and patients, breaks are not respected by the company, you are expected to be working and moving constantly and are not allowed to take the 15 minute breaks throughout the day that are promised upon hire. It is also nearly impossible to get your shifts covered and management does not respect requests for time off. Burnout is incredibly fast; most of my coworkers and I myself only lasted a few months.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
