Pros

My dept had a very flexible schedule with telecommuting opportunities. The pay was a bit higher than average for my industry.

Cons

The President Castulo makes $900,000 a year that is paid for by tax payer dollars. They only care about money, they cram a bunch of patients in at one time leaving the patients to wait upwards of 2 hours after their scheduled appointment times. They have staff that are fraudulent and inappropriate yet they turn the other cheek because they don't want to lose any more staff. High turn-over rate. Working here you move up based on who you know and how much you kiss up to staff. You can have no degree and supervise people with their master's degrees just because they are in the right clique.

Pros

Great health and dental insurance, and lots of opportunities to train. Good coworkers to lean on.

Cons

There are rarely any opportunities for part time positions, so most people end up stuck and aren't able to attend school full time unless they quit. A lot of favoritism and nepotism. If you bring up genuine concerns to management, they'll just spit out corporate policies instead of working on actual solutions to help employees and patients alike. Several employees have left due to burnout but management shames them for not being able to handle the huge workload.
