Pros
I’ve worked at several other practices over the past few years, but AUC has always felt like home. I’ve been given a lot of support, encouragement, and opportunities to grow—not just as a technician but as a person. The doctors practice high-quality medicine and truly utilize their support staff to their full capabilities. The team genuinely feels like a team—people support each other and are always willing to share/teach new skills/techniques. Management is approachable, listens to feedback, and is willing to work alongside the team when needed.
Cons
As with most ERs, the schedule can include long hours and weekends/holidays, which isn’t for everyone. The hospital is still working through some of the adjustments that come with expanding from an after-hours model to a full 24-hour facility, but those growing pains are expected during a period of growth. Since moving to 24/7 operations, it’s been harder to get everyone together outside of work. It honestly just highlights how close our team is, but I do miss the group hangouts and all the good food we used to try together. Techs are notoriously food-motivated, so that part has definitely been noticed
