Pros

-Weeks of PTO from hire -Great Benefits (Insurance is crazy cheap and better than previous jobs that cost 5x as much) 401k matches 6% -Chance to move up and/or transfer (They have contracts with hospitals across the country, so you can transfer within the company instead of being bound to one area.They also almost always promote within the company, whereas I've worked for so many places that hire managers outside the company and leave their loyal employees hanging) -Progressive work environment. This is the kind of company you can explain mental health to without it being taboo. They also have resources they can direct you to within the company like therapy. -Work alone (May be a con for some, but I love it!) I've seen this in a lot of reviews here, people complaining of not having any guidance. You don't need guidance, you go by your work within the hospital's EMR. I enjoy not having a manager micro manage me or having to ask for permission on everything. It is incredibly peaceful and makes you feel like your own boss. Even on slow days, be creative on how to stay busy (Catch up on emails, organize files, scan things in to EMR, etcetc)

Cons

-No grace training period. There was supposed to be a week of shadow training, but I was thrown into the role. Granted, that was likely my manager being overwhelmed as I've heard that didn't happen to people in other areas. -At the hospital's mercy (Because you're a contractor, it can get complicated if someone were to complain about you, as it's technically two different companies and not one. So workplace harassment may be harder as you would have to inform YOUR boss who has to then inform THEIR boss.)

Pros

I have never worked for a company that cares so much about their employees. Shields is constantly looking to improve the workflow and environment and are open to suggestions. Although I am by myself at my hospital location, I never feel alone. My immediate supervisor is only a phone call/email away and I get responses within a hour. It is such a breath of fresh air to work for a company that cares about the individual. In regards to the actual job, Shields is about our patients. You truly are an advocate for the patients and we treat them as such..not just another person. I look forward to my future with this vastly growing company.

Cons

I wish I could see co-workers more frequently that I met at training.

Pros

Patient care always comes first! It's refreshing to work for a company that doesn't solely focus on metrics and performance, but actually places a heavy emphasis on patient experience. The company culture sets Shields apart more than anything. As an employee, I have never felt like just another number. Our management team really invests in the professional and personal development of each employee. I have been encouraged and supported to reach all professional goals I have set for myself during my time with Shields. Shields also feels like one big family! I have met so many of my best friends here and genuinely love coming into the office to see my team.

Cons

Shields is rapidly growing, which isn't exclusively a con, but can cause growing pains at times. Fortunately, the company has implemented a wonderful training team to fully onboard new hires, whereas previously this was a management responsibility. This has helped tremendously.
