Pros
The low acuity patient population
Cons
No accountability - there are no repercussions for poor job performance, attendance issues, refusing to do certain aspects of the job due to incompetence and not willing to learn but would rather avoid all together such as going to surgery or doing fluoroscopy exams, insubordination, milking the clock, not answering the phone when on call, etc. Employees and management lack work ethic - radiology exams that are ordered often sit for long periods of time while techs sit and chat, there is a severe lack of organization, if any at all. One employee frequently states that he does the bare minimum because he doesn't care. Lack of integrity for job quality - letting patients wait for exams, sending non-diagnostic imaging which means the patient may not receive a proper diagnosis due to poor quality x-rays that are either over exposed, under exposed, poorly positioned or anatomy completely clipped or cut off on the image and still turned in. No team work - it's every one for themselves. Don't get lunch breaks or breaks many days. Favoritism and cronyism in the radiology department. Can't retain good experienced staff due to poor working conditions. The benefits are the WORST I've ever had at any job I've had so far. You don't get bonuses, but you might get yet another adventhealth coffee mugs or water bottle. I would say I'd take the $5 it cost them for the water bottle, but after they tax it as a bonus at 27% you might end up owing them money.
