Pros

Benefits available day 1 but difficult to get in their system. The benefits will be effective but not available for Doctor or Dentist to see for over 1 month.

You will work 12 hour shifts doing the same thing repeatedly for months. Training is limmitted to orientation and company rules only. .There is no instruction or path for learning. Most boring job ever.
