Pros

It's a noble job if you want to help people,but's that about all this job has going for it.

Cons

Mostly delivering pressurized and liquid Oxygen to patients homes and care facilities, (which the Department of Transportation classifies as a hazardous material) for $13 - $15 an hour depending on "experience" by the HR department. You'll be in the $13 end. The selling point to get you to take the job is the overtime you can earn by being "on call", so say goodbye to any outside life. Not all homes are like this, but be prepared to be exposed to health hazardous situations because some people are living like hoarders, so your having to carefully walk over stuff without tripping or twisting an ankle. Or will have animal feces and urine smells throughout the house you get to breath in from all the pets they don't clean up after. Oh and don't wear a mask to protect yourself (although in training they tell you to do so) because you need to be compassionate to the patient and their situation. There's no money to wash the delivery vehicles, so it comes out of your pocket if you need to clean it. Need air for the tires? Your dollar to stop at the local gas station to fill them up. Need to find an address? Your investing in the Garmin or using your personal cell phone to find that address. Oh and don't get caught using that cell phone either, terminable offense even if it's hands free.

Pros

Some of the people on the office staff are amazing.

Cons

A Huge amount of turnover due to horrible management. A true lack of concern, awareness, or care from upper management. Lincare has become a very hostile working environment, management leads through fear. Advancement is almost non-existent unless you want the horrible position of a location manager. Customer complaints continue to be on an all time high.

Pros

Decent pay for RTs. Day shift. Spend only a few hours a day actually in the office. Some 401K matching. My Center Manager is fabulous but she has to kowtow to her bosses so unreasonable expectations do trickle down.

Cons

Completely unreasonable productivity expectations make good workers feel like they're always falling short. Low office morale, bickering between departments. No pay for being on-call unless you actually have to do something. IE: Be prepared to stay home while your friends go away on a fun weekend because you're on call again. And get nothing in return for for the inconvenience. Employee cost of health benefits takes a big chunk out of your check. I pay more every month now than I did when I had a job w/o health bennies and had to buy through the marketplace. (And coverage is no better.) Mileage reimbursement is well below federal rate. Your car will die an early death. Expect to purchase a new vehicle twice as often as you normally would. (There's a budget-buster!) Majority of management are non-clinicians and don't have a clue about the complexities and time-consuming nature of proper patient care, especially when the vast majority of clients are elderly and have trouble learning their equipment adequately. Desperately needed supplies for patients are often difficult/impossible to get. Pressure, pressure, and more pressure to see more patients in a day... but hand-slapped if overtime is accrued. COMPUTER SYSTEM IS ARCHAIC.... STILL USING A PROGRAM DESIGNED IN THE 1980s!
