Pros

Benefit time is about all that you will find worth applying.

Cons

Workplace bullying is prominent. Management engages in bullying mentality and enjoys finding ways to blame its RT staff. Scheduling is awful, forced-assigning is accepted as a norm. No opportunity for advancement. Charge therapists should not be in a leadership position. Staff are not respected by management. You're just a number and your work/life balance means nothing to management. Work somewhere else.
