Pros

Great benefits including vision and dental

Cons

Constant changes in support staff led to scheduling mistakes. Was scheduled many times for 10 hour work shifts and would only be paid 8 as I was salaried. The medical specialty in which I worked had a history of high turn-over rate. Poor orientation and false description of what I would be doing at work. By the end of my employment I encountered harassment in the office setting. LARGE disconnect between manager and director HR was not helpful My employment can be summed up in a quote taken from another reviewer on indeed.com: "During the time I was employed there I was aware of numerous occasions where a single employee, physician, nurse, administrative staff were cast to the side and then plagued by accusations in order for them to either quit or be "dismissed" without cause."

Pros

Decent company to work for depending on your department. Benefits and pay are average, enjoy(d) what I do each day and my peers were supportive.

Cons

We recently began losing a lot of great technicians over the last year. HR doesn’t hold management accountable for policies involving harassment and retaliation. Our department was always top notch but began failing significantly beginning in 2025. Now everyone is leaving or being fired for unwarranted reasons. Growing concerns over outsourcing due to lack of accountability in management.
