Pros

They do work continuously on advancing their technology. You are paid well, but at what cost?! You're working while your family and friends are off. You can't even get a day off that hasn't been scheduled at least 2 weeks in advance.

Cons

They are on a quest to acquire so many new patients, that they are showing they value their customers and prospective customers more than their employees. Customers are always right, basically.

Pros

None....other than today is my last day!!!

Cons

Management is HORRIBLE. Hours are HORRIBLE. Pay is HORRIBLE. The hiring process is HORRIBLE. I began employment here for a part-time job for some extra "fun" money. Even thought they know I have a full-time job, they continuously try to get me to come in when I'm scheduled for my other job. They can't seem to remember that I have a full-time job with set hours and days, even though it is clearly marked in their computer for my "availability". I was even scheduled when I was out for surgery!!! They also schedule odd shifts like 12-7. Right through lunch and dinner, and of course no breaks because you are too busy...so those days I only get to eat once a day. I have only had one week-end day off since I started (about three months ago). Do not expect to have a "life" if you work here even part-time. Pay is minimum wage. Minimum wage is ok for the easier jobs, but working in the Deli is not easy, especially if you are a closer. I feel they should give an extra few dollars to the Deli people (and probably others, but I'm not familiar with their positions, so I cannot truly say). I have had employees tell me they have been there for years and are still making what they started with. Upper management is rude and uncaring. I have management experience myself, and I have never treated employees the way I have heard them treat co-workers. There are two store managers I really like, they always have a smile and something nice to say, but the MAIN manager and one other manager, they NEVER smile, and are very rude. The employees seem to be unhappy in general, and there is a high turn over rate there, but there is also a "core" of folks that have been there for a while, and they are truly the back-bone of the store. The Deli manager & Asst. manager are both very nice, and I enjoy working with them.
