Pros

Good pay and benefits Easy to transfer locations if you move or to pick up extra shifts Opportunities to progress at any employment/education level Great local culture and talent

Cons

Corporate doesn’t really connect with the local clinics (can be a good thing too I suppose). When they do, it doesn’t seem genuine or like they know how individual hospitals operate or how the employees function on a day to day basis.

Pros

-Opportunity to gain exposure and basic experience, especially for entry-level roles. -Hiring process is relatively easy, which can be helpful for getting your foot in the door.

Cons

-Training and onboarding felt inconsistent; requests for guidance or additional training were often not supported. -Workplace culture felt unwelcoming at times, with noticeable cliques and a “high school” social dynamic. -Management appeared to show favoritism, which impacted morale and fairness in opportunities. -Staffing levels were frequently low, which added stress and limited support for new employees. -Collaboration and team support were lacking, making it difficult for new hires to succeed.
