Pros
People within the department were super supportive. Very patient, helpful, and welcoming. It was great experience and exposure.
Cons
Work/life balance. Crisis management means that you can stay well past when your shift is over dealing w/various patient related issues as well as just trying to help everybody else from being completely overwhelmed. The compensation isn't that great when you take into consideration the extremely stressful environment you are asked to work in. Immediate supervisors/managers/directors are great but I'm sure they face a lot of pressure from "higher ups". Lots of times direct patient care staff are short staffed and there is a high turn over rate w/direct patient care because of how stressful the job is.
