Pros

PTO accumulated fairly quickly. That's about it.

Cons

Worst place I have ever worked in my career as a medical assistant (that says a lot) Management is horrible, management will go out to lunch for 2 hours while you're the only MA in clinic drowning, Not to mention they will go drinking together on the weekends and openly talk about it at work all the time. You will be expected to do the job of 5+ people and told to shut up and be happy about it, will lie to you to get you to stay (false promises) favoritism to nurses. I worked for 4 months and put in my two weeks notice, I have never been burnt out and used up at a job so fast in my life. That comes form a CMA with 10+ years experience. DO NOT WORK HERE! TRUST ME PLEASE! Much better places and companies exist!

Pros

Diversified Varied shifts Diversified Varied locations

Cons

Games get played with promotions!!! Job descriptions are changed to allow certain people into positions then changed back. Regardless of tenure, one can be passed up for promotions because the "powers that be" want a particular person in a role that is a "yes man/woman" instead of someone more qualified. People have even been promoted into director roles without having a degree and/or little to no experience vs someone with a degree or years of experience. Raises are not fairly given. Again, tenure does not matter. Compensation needs to bring positions and salaries up to the current market value, Work life balance is a joke!!!!
