Pros
+ Benefits are really good + Lots of opportunities to grow within the profession + A good sense of community and belonging + The support systems are really nice, including the discounts and coupons to various places
Cons
- Supervisors can make departmental changes for the worse (e.g., constantly updating PTO and asking off procedures to the point where it's not even worth it to ask off) - Higher-ups are constantly on your back for overtime even when business dictates you stay late so your coworkers and patients don't suffer - You have to use PTO for holidays and sick days. I've never worked a place that requires you to put in your own paid time off to cover holidays that you aren't scheduled to work. I can't even go to the doctor's office if I'm scheduled to work without receiving either a Tardy or an Absence, and I work normal business hours (40/wk, M-F, 8-4:30 or 9-5:30) - Patients (including employees of SSM under your care) can be exceptionally cruel even when it's circumstances beyond your control
