Pros

There's a lot of positions available. A lot of shifts available. Location is pretty centrally located if you live in Pittsburgh--right off of main bus lines. There's a lot of pleasant people working there.

Cons

Everything. The salary is low compared to acute care facilities. Management and supervisors are completely lazy, unreliable, and incompetent. Discipline is completely arbitrary. Lots of people are so criminally negligent they would have their butts fired and probably prosecuted if they were at other places I've worked, while some of the best coworkers I've ever seen get driven out for trivial things like punching out a few minutes late. No flexibility in scheduling.

Pros

..its a job helps pay the bills but want to pivot out to something new I'm very lucky until that happens my Team is awesome to work with!

Cons

Hire Educators!! Healthcare education and systems are failing its employees since covid we need to pivot and get back to helping constantly educate. We have Covid taught Nurses and Doctors not meaning badly but there is a disconnect -not understanding what is common in your scope of practice and not "knowing" how to do something or waiting for someone else to take care is lazy and if you are too afraid to ask for help you please don't be in the medical field. Ohh stop giving so many "chances" to people that should be fired a long time ago and not keep them bc "we need staff"-it hurts everyone with that one person!
