Pros

Patients are sweet and make job bearable, employee perks through certain retailers.

Cons

Does not care about employees like they boast, does not listen to staff suggestions if you read through their suggestions page in the employee portal they turn down everything or give some bs reason not to follow through, DOES NOT UTILIZE MONEY WELL, will fire with no reasoning EASILY, has new attendance policy that is extremely cut throat and does not even allow you to be sick or have an uncontrollable circumstance and be excused from receiving an "occurance", cannot answer employee questions about damn near anything.
