        Pros

        The pay is ok, benefits ok. There are really great people to work with, especially night crew. Good place to learn

        Cons

        - poor management. Changes are never made and profit is all that matters. Obvious favoritism. - low raises. You could go above and beyond and not be acknowledged. Techs that have been working over 10 years weren’t acknowledged. - cost. The prices are ridiculous, even for specialty/er. Price increases far outweighed the wage increases. - a significant amount of experienced and long term techs left for other hospitals. Turnover rate is high. - there are people that are difficult to work with, if they’re even working. - I’ve seen a few treatments that I considered unethical. - messy. It gets busy but things still need to be cleaned. Downtime shouldn’t be gossip time, there’s always something to do

          Pros

          Free cheese itz. Some times.

          Cons

          They will fire you the day before they are supposed to pay you your sign-on bonus via FedExing an unemployment application and cobra info to you. If you try to contact them to discuss it, they will have you served to appear in court for harassment. Extremely prejudiced, homophobic, and unscrupulous.

              Pros

              You get a discount for your pet, some of the doctors are amazing. Building is nice

              Cons

              Management is a nightmare. Does not follow through on anything. They regularly and illegally don’t let you take your breaks and lunch’s, have messed up multiple paychecks for many employees and take weeks to fix it. Haven’t paid OT to many employees and have been sued for it. They are so busy at that location patient care has plummeted. Wouldn’t work here again for a million dollars.

                upper management does not see eye to eye with those on the floor.

                        Cons

                        Emergency medicine is dynamic and fast-paced, be prepared for some emotional days.

                      RFP Coordinator

                      I have a 5 year gap in my work history due to an illness. How do I explain this? I can't lie, SSD is on my background check as a previous employer. I am on it and looking to re-enter the job market and get off of it, but I understand it is a reason for employers to pause in hiring me.

                      Senior Associate

                      How do you interview for a position when you are under-qualified based on seniority but not based on skills? I currently serve as a senior associate for a reputable consulting firm, and I have an interview for an associate director position. However, I am just shy of the minimum YOE requirement included on the job application and relatively young (though I meet all of the other requirements). Any advice on convincing the hiring manager I am ready for a mid-level role?

                      EY

                      Had 4 behavioral interviews for a position last week. Last Friday (which was the last of the four interviews), the interviewer spent most of the interview selling me on the job and didn't ask me any questions. She ended the interview by saying she thinks I am confident and would be a great fit for the role. I took this as a good sign but giving it's 2023 you never truly know. Has anyone ever had an interviewer do something similar and not gotten the job?
