Pros

* Decent medical benefits and RX benefits * Decent Pay * Hour lunch

Cons

* You are made to work as a technician for 6 months to 1 year before working your duties as a Nurse. This is not communicated during the interview. * Insufficient training and onboarding for new employees, with expectations that new hires perform at the same level as experienced staff before receiving adequate instruction. * Limited training period that does not allow sufficient time to learn job responsibilities, policies, procedures, and patient care protocols. * Ineffective management and leadership, including poor communication, lack of support, and inadequate workforce planning. * Chronic staffing and scheduling issues that result in excessive workloads and long working hours. * Perceived favoritism in assignments, scheduling, and workplace treatment. * Workplace bullying and unprofessional conduct among staff members. Concerns regarding age-related bias and unequal treatment of employees. * Lack of consistency in following established medical protocols and operational procedures. *Hostile and stressful work environment that negatively impacts employee morale and job satisfaction. * Excessive work hours, often beginning as early as 5:00 AM and extending until 6:00 PM. * Disorganized operations and frequent workflow inefficiencies. Concerns that patient-centered care is not consistently prioritized. * Employees discouraged from building rapport or engaging in meaningful conversation with patients. * Reports of staff discussing patients in front of others in English and other languages, creating concerns about professionalism and patient dignity. * Overall lack of support, organization, and positive workplace culture, leading to decreased job satisfaction and increased employee burnout.

Pros

Management supports a work-life balance, hours are flexible, okay benefits. Good training opportunities and there is effort by management to support a good work culture. 6 weeks at 80% of pay Paternity/Maternity & Adoption leave. 401K with 6% matching. For 2 adults, we pay for Davita's Anthem BCBS healthcare plan and it is $350/month (4,700 deductible).

Cons

Payscale isn't aggressive - 1% raise each year. You also may be asked to cover other clinics temporarily without fair compensation for the extra workload.
