Toxic work environment

Pros

Close to home, clinical experience

Cons

I worked for Dr. Edman many years ago and only lasted 6 months because of her toxicity and some of the staff on the team. I realized she had already gone through several Nurses/MA's before me. She is an ugly woman inside and out. I recently had to go to that clinic for personal reasons and noticed she is still there. I think its unbelievable she hasn't been fired and sued for her behavior. You have to have a thick skin and less empathy to work in the medical field these days. It's full of narcissists.

Pros

Working in a hospital even as an admin, you experience some crazy things. You get "in the trenches" stories. If you crave a chaotic, fast paced environment that keeps you running, this could be the place for you. If you love not having a personal life and never need time off, apply today.

Cons

Don't be disabled or become disabled on this job. I disclosed a condition to my coworkers and it was received as attention seeking. When I tried to get accommodations, most were rejected and the one that wasn't was met with contempt by manager. I later found out that half of my coworkers and manager gossiped about me, spread rumors that I was faking my disabilities. My experience was so bad that I got PTSD (diagnosed and treated by professionals). It's taken me almost 2 years to not have a panic attack when I think about working or applying for jobs.
