      Pros

      Coworkers are good and family atmosphere

      Cons

      Needs were not met as far as equipment. I had two pregnancies during my employment and management refused to provide a table. I was forced to sign paperwork that said I would not lift over 40 lbs and then forced to lift over 70lbs. Then to add insult to injury , I was terminated for taking maternity leave, rehired and had to start all over as a new employee.

      Think about employees instead of getting promoted

      Pros

      Doctors are great! They care for the patients health most of the time.

      Cons

      Lack of professionalism from employees that have been there for over 10 years. Lack of career growth and opportunities. There is a higher level of professionalism and work ethic from employees have been there for less than three years then from those who have been there over ten years. They work twice as had and don't get paid half as much as those who have been there over ten years. There is lots of smack talk, gossiping, stabbing in the back, passive aggressiveness, and lack of team work that management does nothing about and thus allows it to happen. They do not pay a living wage, they rely on employees to enroll in government assistance. And being an AAHA accredited practice, they don't follow AAHA guidelines.
