Pros

Okay pay, Okay benefits, good as a first job, if you have no other options or for people who enjoy documenting and justifying their every move?

Cons

Un-necessarily stressful (every decision is life-or-death), Management by fear, Micro-management (Bathrooms are not safe), Rampant un-professional behavior, company expects dedication and flexibility but offer none in return, not a good long-term career decision for most, not for professionals who expect professionalism. They've fired someone only weeks away from retirement and took their retirement away. Expect that when they say employment is at-will, they mean it and they will always make you aware of that.. They rely on known in-accurate reports to allow them to fire you at will with justification. If you cross any management best believe they will have a report they can and likely will fire you for.

Pros

The benefits packages are awesome.

Cons

There isn't a lot of room for growth, the management is incompetent, the pay is substantially lower than the national market rate, employee moral is very low, there are a lot cliques, the culture sucks, and employees do not have a voice. I spoke up about a patient privacy issue and was black balled by management. When I applied for a transfer my manager blocked the transfer on two occasions and basically made my life a living hell. I quit before finding another job.

Only reason to stay is money and the fact that there is nothing else out there

Cons

This company is run by used cars salesmen and they are selling burning out every single provider here
