Pros

Remote work is ok but nothing else

Cons

Minimum wage job though you're dealing with serious trauma and suicidal callers. High work load. You have a million little things to remember that don't mean much but they act like you're a criminal if you forget. Written up for everything under the sun. Aggressive team leads that have no empathy or compassion. If you deviate from scripts to offer empathy for a very distressed sick caller you will be told off for going off script. Always low staffed. I have been the only person taking calls for 2 provinces some nights. You can never take a sick day, which is illegal but they don't care. Very little training. They also make you bill calls that were obvious wrong numbers or hang ups, which is a scam of the canadian tax payer. They make you get a callers full info just to answer whether their drs office is open yet which is time wasting and deceptive to the caller.

Pros

Friendly environment, remote and not stressful

Cons

Pay is not with too great and not with the RN workforce market. It does not depend on state either. Everyone starts off the same no matter on experience. Benefits are horrible. Extremely high. Each person you add on to your benefits increases how much you have to pay. The benefits can take almost half your paycheck
