Pros

401k, annual bonuses, medical, dental, vision, always overtime available, stable career (somewhat)

Cons

401k is not matched, training is not monitored to make sure new hires know what they are doing or to make sure preceptors are actually precepting and God forbid the new hire didn't know something that they didn't even realize their preceptor was supposed to teach them, the nurses will throw the new hire under the bus, no doubt about it instead of guiding and correcting them. There's no work life balance, just early mornings and late nights that never end. Get to work a little after 5am, don't leave until about 8:00pm at night and come back and do it again the next day and the next day and the next day and so forth and then you're dealing with crazy coworkers and patients alike the entire time. I can't imagine this is safe for workers or patients. Can I call the state about employee scheduling and the risk of incidents and errors due to lack of sleep? Guess I'll call and find out.

Pros

Management supports a work-life balance, hours are flexible, okay benefits. Good training opportunities and there is effort by management to support a good work culture. 6 weeks at 80% of pay Paternity/Maternity & Adoption leave. 401K with 6% matching. For 2 adults, we pay for Davita's Anthem BCBS healthcare plan and it is $350/month (4,700 deductible).

Cons

Payscale isn't aggressive - 1% raise each year. You also may be asked to cover other clinics temporarily without fair compensation for the extra workload.
