Pros

I like my job and like the people I work with.

Cons

Wages are not good. After ten years I've finally hit $13.00 an hour. Middle managment has no clue what's going on in their departments and they never listen to their employees as to better ways to get the job done. The employees are the frontline workers and we do the job but managment thinks they know more about our job than we do. There's no schedule, planning or organizing in my department. How do you expect to serve over 6000 people with no form of organizing?

Pros

Good pay, good benefits, at least until they get cut now that there's no union to stop them.

Cons

Incompetent, career-climbing management, at least a third of the doctors don't speak their patients' language, A LOT of the time patient allergies don't even make it into their chart (it's the "not my job" mentality), long on image, short on substance. Had a friend who had a family member there this past year and mentioned how dirty it was, the fact that they were seen by someone who admitted they hadn't worked in that particular field for a long time. Recently required to get the flu shot waiver signed by the doctor, requiring an appointment for which I will undoubtedly be charged since it's not a medical problem (THANKS!) just so the numbers look good (THANKS AGAIN!). A horrid little meatgrinder of an institution. If you can possibly get a job somewhere else, please do.
