Pros

Vacation time, paid sick time, ability to work full, part, or per diem. Benefits are amazing.

Cons

We make less than the secretaries even though we have to be certified and work a high-risk job with needles, blood, and other bodily fluids. Also very clicky with coworkers and due to high turn over rate people that should have been let go years ago get kept around just so we have bodies to fill positions.
