Pros

NP's great to work with. Decent weekend hours.

Cons

Too much expected out of clinical staff in regards to marketing. Expected to hunt shoppers down and harass them about flu shots. People do not like this. Expected to be nurse, pct, housekeeper, marketing, and announcer all in one. Management too worried about sucking up to store management and not enough focus on patient care. Expected to see everyone even if we know that we will be referring them to ER. Just a way to take someones money and it's not right. This creates a bad taste in the mouth of the community. Stop bullying your employees.. Too many schedule changes without notice and with no regard to employees personal time and family lives. Expect the profits of the The Little Clinic to come above everything else.

You'll need a Degree

Pros

Once you're locked in as Full-Time, you're locked in there's no doubt about it. The benefits are great, you get a discount at Sprint, Ford, etc. Most people you'll work with are great, the stores are slowly but surely updating into today's shopping experience.

Cons

The pay isn't the best, but honestly if you'e not working at a high volume store the labor you'll be doing doesn't really give you a reason to complain about pay. Favoritism and Management really defeat the purpose for management to even exist. It's hard to move up from within unless you pop out a degree.

One Of The Worse Employers Ever!

Pros

Not really sure if there are any, other than gaining experience for your resume and move on to something way better.

Cons

There are many such as long hours, very low wage pay, raises are in cents that it is pathetic compared to all the work and experience on may have. Also management is never really at work they are paid to be elsewhere instead of in the stores where they are needed this goes for all departments. Benefits come out of your paycheck every week and if you get tricked into joining the union then that is even more money out of your measly paycheck that you are already getting. On-boarding is horrible and I feel sorry for the new hires as they have to literally call their managers and try to get a hold of them and wait around to be scheduled to actually work after training, but its not really managements fault being as the company they work for is pathetic and disorganized. It's like a behemoth of corporate evil at its best but pretends to wear a caring mask.
