Pros

Decent benefits and free parking for employees. I felt like they provided good financial support during covid. Low barrier to entry makes it a good place to get experience.

Cons

-They will overwork you and make you do 3 jobs for the price of one. The Grant location is the worst about this and one of the lab techs there enables this practice by insisting that it is standard to always "do the extra" despite not being compensated appropriately. -The level of staffing is unsafe. Concurrent procedures may be happening and you have to figure out how to be 2-3 places at once. -Management does not take the time to listen and understand problems. It is easy to be ignored or incorrectly accused of wrongdoing. -PPE usage is not strict enough for the amount of chemicals and biological substances we work with. -It is hard to get PTO approved because of staffing issues. There was only one person that was available to rotate to different locations.

Pros

Somewhat decent pay for associates, but does it matter when your job isn't secure??

Cons

Another disappointing decision from corporate: eliminating all nurses in urgent care, regardless of tenure or performance. This feels like another example of leadership prioritizing small cost savings and lining their own pockets over patient safety and quality of care. Nurses were informed through a last minute Teams meeting where the director read from a prepared script about pre- and post- COVID staffing and the decision to return to so-called “national staffing standards.” No questions were allowed. Meanwhile, 16 job postings for medical assistants have already appeared in order to replace these asaociates (some nurses have already had the unknowing pleasure of training their MA replacements and learned that fact during the meeting! Wonderful!). If the change truly reflects national standards, even minimal research quickly raises questions about that explanation. It’s incredibly disheartening to see decisions like this being made at the expense of the nurses who have consistently supported these clinics and truly care about the patients they serve. Don't visit their urgent cares if your goal is to receive safe, competent care.
