Pros

weekends off lots of holidays next to the Citadel outlets

Cons

Don't drink the koolaid!! This place is the most toxic environment I have ever been a part of. I am shocked that so many people love this place. There is no work/life balance and if you choose to go home at 5pm to be with your family, you are treated like a slacker. People with true talent and potential are not given the opportunity to thrive unless you suck up to your boss and do what you are told with no questions. Even then, half the managers/supervisors are in their position by default refuse to change. There are people with MBA's working at secretaries and people with community college AA heading departments because they have "been there from the start." There are so many laws being broken in regards to HIPPA, Labor laws, EEOC, employment laws and so many more but HR turns a blind eye to it because they don't want to rock the boat and get a long time employee in trouble. If you want a place where you can work 8-5, get a paycheck and be miserable, then this is the place for you. If you want to advance in your career, RUN AWAY FAST!!

Pros

Great health and dental insurance, and lots of opportunities to train. Good coworkers to lean on.

Cons

There are rarely any opportunities for part time positions, so most people end up stuck and aren't able to attend school full time unless they quit. A lot of favoritism and nepotism. If you bring up genuine concerns to management, they'll just spit out corporate policies instead of working on actual solutions to help employees and patients alike. Several employees have left due to burnout but management shames them for not being able to handle the huge workload.
