Pros

Clean work environment. Good IT help desk support. Little down time for computer problems. Paid weekly. Coverage for personal holidays,vacation and sick days by scheduler.

Cons

Insufficient payroll staffing hours to meet patients needs .Ever increasing administrative demands. No company sponsored continuing education. No mentorship program for new grad hires. Transfers done with little notice. It's Thursday, start your new store Monday. Few meaningful reviews or job performance appraisals. Upper management who identify problems but offer few practical solutions. Corporate management from out of state truly unfamiliar with the "culture" or needs regionally. Overworked, over burdened district managers whose attitudes filter down to store management. Strategically and historically takes a lag-lag approach to employee raises. No mentorship program for support help-technicians. No scheduled lunch or dinner break.
