The stress is unreal. Even in training! Be prepared to be flexible and patient, but efficient and accurate. This industry is constantly evolving so stay informed. They expect a lot out of you for the pay. The health benefits are laughable (2K deductible, 80.00 glasses allowance every two years. If you choose to go to an "in network" 24 hour chain pharmacy prepare to pay the price. Three maintenance meds were 96.00. The same meds filled at the hospital pharmacy, less than 10.00. Just get ther before 5:30 M-F you know, when you're working.)
The team is understaffed by 50%. Asking to take time off is a joke. You have to know a year in advance what you want and if someone with seniority gets to it first you better have a backup vacation. Only three people allowed off at a time.
Work from home is a luxury here, not a right.
Senior management are pompous and arrogant, very poor communication skills.
For a health system they're extremely Christ-y (they have a spiritual development dept). and they certainly want you to "share your calling". They tolerate minorities, but if you're of the LGBT prepare for a lot of uncomfortable interactions once they find out.
