Pros

stable company with a long track record, thus you know your job is secure. They do a lot of promoting from inside the company so if you work in administration you have a good chance of moving up. This point is not relavent to my position as a physician.

Cons

Very focused on the bottom line - money. Sometimes it feels like the employees are dispensable, because all that matters is that you work efficiently, see as many patients as you can, and bring in money. As a physician there is little chance of increasing your income because the bonus plan is structured so that it's difficult to achieve without short changing your patients.

Pros

There some flexibility with scheduling and they let you pick up as many shifts as you want and pretty much your own schedule.

Cons

Very poorly managed, chronically understaffed but managers are dismissive and deny it. The support from staff is inconsistent, the staff nurses are either fresh new grads or very bitter nurses who don’t want to help and expect you to handle everything by yourself as a tech. Most nurses here are PRN’s on contracts that get floated so it’s really hard to expect consistency in the staff you work with and build trusting relationships. Management will promise to train you as a unit secretary but will never follow up. They also agree to help you get opportunities for learning and growth but refuse to follow up or forget about it altogether, despite reminders. It’s not a priority. If your goal is to grow and learn more this is not the place. It’s running on fumes at 95% of the time. Very high turnover, we struggle to keep staff. They’ll call you in to pick up when they’re understaffed with no incentive or something minimal like “swag” (some gear). Very poorly compensated and you will not be appreciated for the hard work you do. Also it took 2 months for them to get me started despite numerous attempts to reach the HR, Management etc.
