Pros
You get to help people. If you want to. Generally, if the crew isn’t genuinely touched by someone else’s tough situation, they can roll their eyes, say something snarky to the “patient” and leave. It’s very unfortunate. But if you genuinely like helping people in need- you can do that.
Cons
The culture of harassment, negativity, misogyny. Most people hate working here, the pay is a major issue. But it’s more than that. My orientation class was told by instructors (yes, more than one) that we should plan on getting injured at work- that it wasn’t a matter of if but a matter of when. Umm. . . No. There are currently lawsuits going on with the previous manager (recently removed) and several women who had to fight for light duty during at risk pregnancy. They were told they would have been fired if it hadn’t been against the law. Seriously. . . Management— get a handle on 2019.
