Pros

Communication from management in general was consistent with the daily meetings. Dependable campus manager. Boss brought food to work pretty often, which was nice. If you have no other option, this is ok for awhile. Pay's good. 3 sick days earned after 90 days. Employees do their best every day to help out aspiring nurses.

Cons

There's no HR department, whatsoever. Your actual duties will be a lot more than described in the job description. No vacation for a year and 3 months, no PTO at all. No overtime - you need the boss's permission prior to working the hours, so clock out on time. High turnover rate (about 1.4 people a month in my 6 months there). Work week hours from 9:30-6:00, 30 minute unpaid lunch breaks M-F and every other Saturday from 8am. A great dealing of being yelled at and shamed in front of your coworkers. But if you can handle all that, the feeling that you are a part of a scam really makes the job unbearable. It isn't uncommon to get genuinely terrified prospective students backing out of the admissions process due to the mixed reviews of PCCTI's students. Try as you might to believe that it can't be that bad, I assure you, should you go in for that interview, that unsettled feeling you get while filling out the application in the reception area will clue you in. You might wait 15, 20, 25 minutes for someone to come meet you and actually do the interview. If you're like me and tolerant to a fault, you'll wait an hour before the boss shows up for the interview. Do yourself a favor and GET OUT.

Pros

Pay, pay, pay You realize how happy you were before and/after you worked here

Cons

Students are not here to learn they are here to pay for you to give them a degree. You will not feel supported in your professional development. You will be criticized unfairly and students are allowed to complain and abuse you. The students run the show and no formal processes are in place for evaluations or grievances. It’s a small school and have already changed their name three times due to multiple complaints. You will spend hours developing lesson plans and clinicals but at the end of the day the students just want to pass and are vicious and will do and say anything to get their way. There is high turnover here for both students and faculty alike. The management is smart and has put in place multiple study tools for students to use and will not pass them till they reach a certain level on their ATI assessments, however do they possess 1 iota of critical thinking skills, absolutely not, and employers recognize the low caliber of students that are churned out. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere!
