Pros

My co-workers were great, the job was easy and manageable, and they had a great opportunity to obtain bonuses every month. As a technician I was tasked with pre-testing patients within each 15 min timeslot, and for the most part it was easy. But every now and then you just get a patient that won't let you continue b/c they talk, or wiggle, or can't keep their eyes open. And that wouldn't be bad if it weren't for the manager scolding you every time you take 16min for a pretest. My manager never could understand that it's not entirely up to me.

Cons

My supervisor was very icy hot, she would be a stern boss one minute and your best friend the next. It made working there very hard because you never knew what level of hostility your interaction was going to be.

Pros

Pretty easy work Company is modernizing Friendly environment Most patients are delightful

Cons

They used to be closed on Sunday, but now that's changed Store budgets are divided up between stores in the same district by the DM, which lends itself to favoritism when stores are given their monthly goals If you are the only LDO, you may end up working a LOT until you are able to find a second LDO
