Pros

You are working directly toward positive patient health outcomes, and that kind of purpose does give you a sense of joy and reward. Pay hovers below competitive, you can begin training on the job to obtain your licensure eventually.

Cons

As is common in the medical field, there is generous understaffing, paired with little to no tolerance for mistakes, directed toward patient outcomes. The company as a whole does not offer retirement options for employees, and pay has been dropping (incentive pay, critical pay) since COVID ended. They are cutting back tremendously and rapidly on employee incentives.

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.
