Pros
-I've met some pretty great people there (my peers) -Drug reps bring food pretty regularly
Cons
-Once you sign an employment agreement, your time is no longer your own. You are basically required to work over time to make up for the time you lose literally running around during clinic hours because they are so understaffed and overbooked. You are reprimanded when you can't finish your job, but scolded for getting a minute's worth of overtime. I know it's a business and the goal is to make a profit, but it can't all be about the money money money. -When you're hired, you're told that you will get yearly reviews and will have a chance to make more money, but that's not true. The payscale is not where it needs to be, especially if they want to be competitive in this field. -Favoritism is very real. Some of the harshest personalities I've ever come across are either part of management or are some of those "veteran" employees that can do whatever they want. -Women are definitely sexualized here by upper management (i.e. being forced to stay after hours to talk in office, sexually aggressive comments by some male staff members, even patients get inappropriate, unwanted hugs, groping...etc.), but when you want to make a formal complaint, you are hushed and your feelings are shelved because the perpetrators are not disposable like you are. -The chain of command there is seriously convoluted. You are not allowed to talk to upper management directly. You have to talk to this person, to talk to this person, to talk to this person, to have them send an email..... and then nothing is resolved. It's a vicious cycle. -Training was sub-par to say the least. It's the busiest clinic I've ever worked for, or even witnessed, and I was given 2 days of "training." That training consisted of a game of Simon Says, no room/time for questions, and then you're on your own. It was very overwhelming, but I was expected to be sufficient after 16 hours on the jobs. -If you speak up for yourself, you will be performance managed out. Without a doubt. Management does not take criticism well, and any reservation or concern from staff is not tolerated. Basically, if someone higher up the chain of command wants you gone, you're gone. They'll either make you so unhappy when you're there that you'll quit, or they'll find anything to fire you.
