Pros

The pay is descent. Self scheduling

Cons

The department I use to be in 7T Post Surgical Oncology was a terrible experience. I loved caring for the patients, but the degree of disrespect towards techs, and lack of team work was unbelievable. The team can be very mean to each other. It's a very toxic work environment. The work load for techs is unrealistic and unfair. Sometimes you will have 10-12 patients, and the nurses only up to 4-5 , yet the unit clerk will literally call the tech for everything, while you are also caring for other patients and completing other tasks. It's like you are expected to be two places at one time. I was tired of the demeaning treatment also by some the nurses. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to leave and move on to a better place.

Pros

It's okay... I don't know how other ORs are run for comparison. Pay is alright. $47/hr and on-call is $8/hr. Have over 3 years of experience. Most people are pretty friendly. The friendly ones are starting to leave now, unfortunately.

Cons

Management doesn't fix problems. They won't respond to emails. Often don't have specimen printers, patient moving boards, etc. Tons of extra timeouts are kind of inconvenient (pre-op, pre-anesthesia, and pre-incision). Parking and commute are hassles. You can't park next to the hospital unless you are a doctor or advanced practitioner. At least 30min per day wasted on bus to and from hospital from parking tower I'm assigned. So much traffic to get to and from work. On call is very tiring. They frequently assign 7pm-7am overnight call right after 12hr shifts and then want you to stay because night shift didn't show up. Call requirement is at least 48hrs per month. Most OR rooms are super messy and badly stocked. ...Seems like more and more bad people are getting promoted to management positions. My immediate manager is good. The ones over her are not that great.
