Pros

Cheap vending machines. Many Locations

Cons

As an LVN it's a scary place to work. Since the company tries to cut corners to save money they make the employees do the work of many. For example, LVN's are considered supervisors. Not only are you expected to perform clinical duties but you are also expected to supervise the Medical Assistants, triage, order supplies, manage the schedule, clean instruments, do your own phlebotomy (only Pico location has Quest on site), complete the billing and pretty much anything else they throw at you. I've never worked in a place like this. They really over demand and over work the LVN. I fear for my license because there is soooo much room for errors. Keep looking.

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.
