Pros

Nice co-workers and they offer a good service to people struggling to live with kidney disease

Cons

Although they shout about work-life balance all the time - this doesn't seem to apply to Facility Adminsitrators, who are expected to go to bed with their cell phones nearby in case their 3:30 am opening PCT decides not to come into work. Then it means you start calling other workers at 3:40 AM to wake them and get them to come into work. You are essentially on call from 3:30 am 6 days a week, and expected to start addressing work issues at that time, no matter what. The vacation packages are horrible for an FA, even though we are considered managers. Our budgets shrink even more every year and we are expected to continually do more with less while keeping the safety of our patients at a high level. Impossible. A truly horrible, Extremely Stressful, place to work.

Pros

Patient connections is rewarding work, great hands on experience, paid on the job training, training for PCTs is at least consistent.

Cons

12+ hour long hours, emotionally and physically taxing, unqualified management, poor communication, inconsistent scheduling, high turn over, very little amount of opportunity for movement within the company despite preaching that they encourage it. The culture and values are heavily spoken about with little to no enforcement. The position requires significant dedication to learn all the moving parts of the clinic.
