Pros
Fair pay for the role. Rewarding work that involves helping patients. Good entry-level job for gaining healthcare experience.
Cons
-Workload often feels overwhelming, requiring a lot of physical and emotional energy. -Long hours with high expectations can lead to burnout, especially with constant understaffing and a fast-paced environment. -African Americans may experience subtle differences in treatment. -Limited opportunities for advancement unless further certifications are pursued. -Inconsistent management support; some supervisors are disconnected from the challenges on the floor, while others seem two-faced, acting supportive but gossiping behind your back. The environment can feel like a mix of “valley girl” drama and cutthroat “Game of Thrones” politics. -Not sustainable in the long term unless you’re deeply passionate about the field.
