Pros

Time off policies, coworkers are enjoyable people. Good place to get your foot in the door of the medical field but not the kind of place you want to stay more than 2-3 years.

Cons

Ineffective, unethical management. Corporate cost cutting is really just cutting corners. High employee turnover rate. Managers constantly bend and break their own policies for their whiny employees and blame their best workers when things go wrong or pile more and more responsibility on their best workers. Culture of rewarding those who suck up to management but ignoring people who work hard. Compensation isn't competitive.

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.
