Pros

Open door policy! Even if supervisors are busy, they will always try to make time to listen to any issues you are having and help figure out a professional solution to the problem. Training is amazing! This company does not slack off when it comes to training employees! The clinical staff really does care about the staff and tries to address any issues and resolve them so that the employees stay happy

Cons

Scheduling is sometimes frustrating to deal with, because time-off requests are not always communicated well, and schedules are given out late and often times a 'full-time' employee will only be scheduled for 12 hours. Instructors have no say in the schedule, we just have to go where we are asked.
