Pros

+Its a good clean environment aesthetically +They have good intentions +Management tries to keep employees engaged with activities (not sure if its coming from corporate or not) +Reeling in potential candidates in training the first week is deceiving, after week 3, you have a sense of, "what did I get myself into"

Cons

-The job description is not even close to the amount of work/stress/effort the job calls for (doesn't represent the compensation/pay) -Training is hurried, very hurried -Lunch is delivered everyday from different places (but you only have a short lunch break and if they're late, oh well) -High turnover, not many people there more than 3-4yrs except for management -Its a women's' world, there's not a lot of men in management. Leadership is comprised of 99.8 % women which leads one to think that advancement is per who you know -Morale is low because of the trickle down chatter from people that's been there awhile, about production, working wkds, pay, turnover, etc. -Very strenuous and micro-managed as other posts suggests -Inadvertent favoritism, I don't think its intentional but you can see certain people being favored with management -Employee feedback is not always priority, for instance. They put a sentence/statement on the wall and then asked everyone what they thought. There was no room to share opinions before hand, why ask now? -There are lots of highly intelligent people working there, and its stressing even for them, its just stressful for the work load they require *Because you MUST work both Saturday and Sunday, you miss out on so much quality family time to where there's no work/life balance

Pros

There some flexibility with scheduling and they let you pick up as many shifts as you want and pretty much your own schedule.

Cons

Very poorly managed, chronically understaffed but managers are dismissive and deny it. The support from staff is inconsistent, the staff nurses are either fresh new grads or very bitter nurses who don’t want to help and expect you to handle everything by yourself as a tech. Most nurses here are PRN’s on contracts that get floated so it’s really hard to expect consistency in the staff you work with and build trusting relationships. Management will promise to train you as a unit secretary but will never follow up. They also agree to help you get opportunities for learning and growth but refuse to follow up or forget about it altogether, despite reminders. It’s not a priority. If your goal is to grow and learn more this is not the place. It’s running on fumes at 95% of the time. Very high turnover, we struggle to keep staff. They’ll call you in to pick up when they’re understaffed with no incentive or something minimal like “swag” (some gear). Very poorly compensated and you will not be appreciated for the hard work you do. Also it took 2 months for them to get me started despite numerous attempts to reach the HR, Management etc.
