Pros

Affordable health benefits, no cost labwork for employees, discounts in the cafeteria, gift shop and around the community, good working environment, great attitudes, bonuses given around October (if they are given)

Cons

Low pay, CPS usually pays the lowest in several states but FGH pays lower than CPS but they prefer LMSWs, little to no opportunity for advancement, raises come few & far between especially for social workers, no holidays, must use PTO for holidays, must use 3 days of PTO before 1 day of sick leave & sick leave must be taken as FMLA, hourly pay but they strongly advise against overtime

Pros

Im left alone for the most part, allowed to do my job without nitpicking from higher ups unless I actually mess up. The people are cool for most part. The shift differential for night shift is really nice. It certainly offsets the lower base pay I make. They recently implemented holiday pay as well.

Cons

There seems to be a bit of favoritism from management. Complaints you would make about a certain person (whoever that may be) have a tendency to get back to them along with who complained. The pay doesn’t equal the work. As an associate level tech, I do the same job as everyone else and make a significantly lower wage than the bachelor’s level techs. A 5-6 dollar difference between a new MLS and a new MLT.
