Every day I feel ashamed for cooperating with what seems like the greatest evil unleashed on the face of the planet.

Pros

There's a lot of positions available. A lot of shifts available. Location is pretty centrally located if you live in Pittsburgh--right off of main bus lines. There's a lot of pleasant people working there.

Cons

Everything. The salary is low compared to acute care facilities. Management and supervisors are completely lazy, unreliable, and incompetent. Discipline is completely arbitrary. Lots of people are so criminally negligent they would have their butts fired and probably prosecuted if they were at other places I've worked, while some of the best coworkers I've ever seen get driven out for trivial things like punching out a few minutes late. No flexibility in scheduling.

Pros

For the most part, have loved my job, and loved my clients. Hours are reasonable, pay is adequate. Benefits rock.

Cons

Different standards for different people. Politics. Drama in departments. Little feedback and improvement opportunities.
