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.

Pros

The Health benefits and 401k are great. The main admin AOB building is really nice.

Cons

Here is just a small list of issues. Management had no idea what their employees actually do. The workload vs staffing level has gotten much worse. They can't hire for positions that have been vacant for a year. No a family place. Everyone looks out for them selfs. This reorganization is a load of crap that was not discussed with the employees. The CTO is an unprofessional person and would yell at you in front of people.
