Pros

+ Good health insurance and benefits + Easy interview process + 11.5 hour shifts + Urgent care setting where you get a ton of experience

Cons

- Low pay with no incentive - High turnover rate - POOR management, no actions towards improving work environment or flow - Company couldn’t care less about employees breaking HIPPA and not doing their job, as long as they have employees. - Employees yelled at for job tasks which are not in MA scope of practice. - Several additional job tasks added on due to poor performance of other employees - Constant drama (and harassment) within office and poor work ethic

Pros

Decent company to work for depending on your department. Benefits and pay are average, enjoy(d) what I do each day and my peers were supportive.

Cons

We recently began losing a lot of great technicians over the last year. HR doesn’t hold management accountable for policies involving harassment and retaliation. Our department was always top notch but began failing significantly beginning in 2025. Now everyone is leaving or being fired for unwarranted reasons. Growing concerns over outsourcing due to lack of accountability in management.
