Pros

I like my teammates and patients. They make this worth it. The benefits are okay, however, you must double check with people services to make sure your benefits are correctly selected. Patient needs are not met due to understaffing. We are unable to take more than a 20 minute break in a 12 hour shift. I'm pretty sure there are laws that say we get an hour off the floor, but this is not recognized at my unit. It scares the heck out of me that we work so short staffed. But ofcourse the bottomline of monetary gain is far more IMPORTANT than patient safety.

Cons

Very minimal breaks in 12 hour shift Understaffed to a dangerous level FA does not seem to care much about treatment floor issues Favortism is used frequently God forbid you get sick and call in! If you do, you must find your own coverage! Does Disney know they use their mascot?

Pros

Patient connections is rewarding work, great hands on experience, paid on the job training, training for PCTs is at least consistent.

Cons

12+ hour long hours, emotionally and physically taxing, unqualified management, poor communication, inconsistent scheduling, high turn over, very little amount of opportunity for movement within the company despite preaching that they encourage it. The culture and values are heavily spoken about with little to no enforcement. The position requires significant dedication to learn all the moving parts of the clinic.
