Pros

Good pay, good benefits, at least until they get cut now that there's no union to stop them.

Cons

Incompetent, career-climbing management, at least a third of the doctors don't speak their patients' language, A LOT of the time patient allergies don't even make it into their chart (it's the "not my job" mentality), long on image, short on substance. Had a friend who had a family member there this past year and mentioned how dirty it was, the fact that they were seen by someone who admitted they hadn't worked in that particular field for a long time. Recently required to get the flu shot waiver signed by the doctor, requiring an appointment for which I will undoubtedly be charged since it's not a medical problem (THANKS!) just so the numbers look good (THANKS AGAIN!). A horrid little meatgrinder of an institution. If you can possibly get a job somewhere else, please do.

Pros

Great benefits. Fair pay. Honest policies.

Cons

This company has its cliques and you will feel isolated if you don't blend in as expected. If you find yourself not quite fitting in, it is best to find another company to work for.
