Pros

A great environment to get exposed to many parts of a healthcare system. They let you do what you want as long as you get your main duties completed.

Cons

It's not a great trauma center. Many of the staff are not trained to deal with the most high stressed situations.

Pros

When I worked there, I created my own schedule to work. They hand you a blank calendar and you mark the days you want to work an 8 or 16 hour shift. You call them the days that you marked and they'll tell you if they have a room for you or not. Great pay as well!

Cons

The only real downside I could see is that it's not a very steady income if they don't need you on a lot of the days that you had put down to work.

Pros

Very good vacation accrual, although the wages were a little bit in the low to low average range. 8 to 10 hours per pay

Cons

Manager did not process or discipline problem employees and instead shuffled them to different locations. This does not solve the problem, it moves it...Yes I realize this seems obvious.
