Pros

The shift differential pay was generous; health and dental insurance had good benefits. The 401K program was adequate.

Cons

Managers at the clinic where I worked showed outright favortism to some employees. Some coworkers were lazy and rude, yet nothing was ever done about them. I had 3 coworkers who were bullying and harrassing me, yet, when I talked to the supervisor, nothing was ever done. I was fired due to a misunderstanding of an order I thought I heard; the provider denied giving the order. My immediate supervisors spoke to me about it at the time, but I never got the chance to talk to anyone in Human Resources prior to my termination. I was not given a chance to give my side of the story. I had never been fired from a job in my life, and I had worked at the clinic for 19 years, and had a good performance record.

Pros

The patient population can be very rewarding to work with, and there can be lots of different job opportunities but very limited advancement with mainly lateral department shifts if a person is looking for change.

Cons

Raises are almost non-existent. The "raise" is a yearly COLA of between 2%-3%. There is no ability to talk to anyone regarding a raise, even the admin staff are fully stonewalled in the overlly corporate monolithic HR style of maintaining "fair" wages. I have worked here for several years and I actually earn less now because my "raises" do not keep up with inflation and the actual cost of living. They maintain their functionality on squeezing as much as they can out of one employer by slowly shifting more job responsibilities called "opportunities" onto you without extra pay or change in title that would get a pay increase. They look to higher level licensed staff to provide more coverage for roles that they won't hire for or cut in departments. They do "organizational restructuring" every 6 months because more staff quit, they don't replace the staff, and tell others to absorb the former FT employees job responsibilities without pay increase and being told not to go into OT.
