Pros

I enjoyed being able to educate patients on a daily basis. I also liked the staff that worked there, they are very helpful and willing to teach you if you want to learn. Everyone maintained a professional attitude. All in all it was an ok place to work, I would go back but they don't pay enough to ofset the cost in gas.

Cons

It was a long ass drive from my house (I lived about 45 minutes away). The office that I worked in was open only evening hours at the time and it hardly made the drive worth it. I also only made about $8 an hour, which I have now come to realize what most people in this position make. Sad because I paid 10 grand to go to school to make 8 bucks an hour. Another kinda crappy part is having to work saturdays assisting with abortions, there were picketers there every week yelling at me as I drove up.

Pros

Helping patient where they need help Passionate providers that work in the office Team members who work well together

Cons

Leadership has only worked at planned parenthood. No idea what takes place in a surgery center or doctors office, The process for any errors or miscommunication or errors was react then ask questions. Damage is done. Hiring people from waitress to construction work for medical roles. No mental health care for patients. Now they are performing transition medications and not mental help for the people
