Pros

Leadership shows efforts to improve workflow and higher ups are accessible.

Cons

After working here for many months, you can tell this company favors someone of Hispanic, Spanish-speaking background versus someone who is actually competent in their role. There is a set culture in place. This company encourages education advancement but really it's aimed toward becoming an LVN or RN. Once you are an RN, there is no incentive or educational support to become an NP through the company. Everything is "case by case." Nurses week was celebrated with combining certified nursing assistants and medical assistants with the LVNs and RNs. All positions were provided the same company merchandise. This felt disrespectful and cheap considering the education and licensure LVNs and RNs have endured. Following nurses week, nursing assistants were given another appreciation email for nursing assistants week. Supervisors are constantly in meetings and inaccessible to help further assist. When they are available to assist, they are useless and not able to cover their subordinates' duties. Avoiding the real issues. Company offers prize money opportunities that are marketed as employee appreciation and engagement. Use that money to provide competitive rates to your employees instead.

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.
