Pros

The culture the corporation is aiming for (village, not a company) is good in theory.

Cons

Very political. They hire based on who knows who, not who the best candidate is. Many people in leadership positions are uneducated and have simply 'gotten in' with the right people to get into their position. If you know someone who's high up in the company, you'll go far. Otherwise, you won't. Promotions are not based on who works hardest or who's most qualified. They are based on who's friends with the decision makers. It's unfortunate.

Pros

Patient connections is rewarding work, great hands on experience, paid on the job training, training for PCTs is at least consistent.

Cons

12+ hour long hours, emotionally and physically taxing, unqualified management, poor communication, inconsistent scheduling, high turn over, very little amount of opportunity for movement within the company despite preaching that they encourage it. The culture and values are heavily spoken about with little to no enforcement. The position requires significant dedication to learn all the moving parts of the clinic.
