Pros

Decent training, “clubs” for culture

Cons

STAY AWAY!!!!!! They don’t pay The management is AWFUL, controlling and cruel They had a company wide meeting to yell and curse out every employee for not staying late They tell you the hours are 9-6, but they expect you to work until 9pm or you get talked to. They clock your clicks, so if god forbid you need a bowel movement, and it takes more than 5 minutes, you will absolutely get yelled at Controlling The directors will treat you worse than gum on the bottom of their shoe They fake like they care about people with cute little clubs and “culture” but you’re watched like a hawk. I got fired for going to the bathroom too much, even though I was successfully hitting my goals. I “can only step away 2x a day for 10 minutes and once for lunch”. So if god forbid you have to walk a dog or go to the bathroom, you will be yelled at. This place is like a concentration camp. They also rob the hell out of the recruiters. The compliance department is garbage There’s too many hands in the pot. They hire at volume and fire at volume. They do not care about you whatsoever.

Pros

Nothing in my short dealings with them.

Cons

This is a company that places healthcare providers for locum assignments. My experience was that I accepted an assignment (they reached out to me) and rearranged my life and the lives of my other co-workers to accept an assignment. Then, I received no communication until an email with regrets that the assignment parameters were changing. I took great pains to ensure they knew that I did not have a specific credential and my rep apparently did not know the credential was required for this assignment. Extremely poor interaction, lack of communication. There are many, many companies that do this work that are great to partner with - avoid this one. As a locum, you are already stepping into an unfamiliar role and you must be able to trust the information you are provided with at the outset. Additionally, it often takes Herculean efforts to arrange schedules to be able to pick up assignments on the fly. This company is not trustworthy and they do not seem to care about the inconveniences they cause or the revenue / opportunities lost due to their carelessness or ignorance.
