Pros
Laid back day to day atmosphere. Predictable schedule. It pays the bills while you look for something better.
Cons
Have a backup plan, because this job can easily become a mistake.
Pay for seasoned staff is very low, and loyalty is not rewarded. Long term employees often make the same or less than new hires, with no meaningful wage adjustments over time. The longer you stay, the more stagnant your pay becomes while expectations increase.
PTO is minimal and does not bank. This makes it difficult to handle illness, emergencies, or plan an actual vacation. Time off feels like a burden rather than a benefit.
Major winter storms are not considered a valid reason to close. Leadership consistently prioritizes revenue over safety, even if it means elderly patients risking injury just to come into the office.
Elderly customers are heavily targeted with frequent phone calls and letters that often border on bait and switch. The company presents itself as patient focused healthcare, but internally it operates like a sales driven call center.
Your efforts are not truly valued. Praise is performative and quickly followed by increased demands. Every pat on the back comes with pressure to work harder and generate more money, without added support or compensation.
Burnout is common and turnover should be a red flag.
