Pros
I had the best manager/supervisor I have ever had anywhere. Some of the other supervisors as individuals are not bad. They are trying the best they can with what the company and hospital gives them to do the job. Exposes you to almost every aspect of a hospital and the healthcare system and its disciplines. It will give you insight in to how a major hospital operates on a daily basis and help you decide what career path you want to follow if you are interested in healthcare. I gave an overall rating of 3 out of 5 just because my immediate supervisor was so fantastic and passionate himself about what he did and I got to meet so many interesting clinical hospital employees and was able to learn a little bit about what they did.
Cons
Major micro-management issues with Teletracking system. You get timed on transports and not enough time to complete them. Unrealistic transport completion time expectations and you will get fired if you don't meet them. Extremely physically demanding. You will be run into the ground. You will get blamed for being late to a patient or too early by nurses and other clinical staff. Gave us uniforms made out of an exotic material that shrunk every time you washed it even if you hung dry them. Management would not give you more uniforms when they shrunk on you. You get blamed for everything that goes wrong by your company and by the hospital they work for. Pay is not enough. Rotating schedule sucks. No differential pay for nights or weekends like the hospital employees get. Little to no PTO. I could go on and on. Some of this may not make sense to folks that havn't worked this job.
