Pros
I think about the only pros for me were proximity to home and my coworkers
Cons
Pay is awful and not fair. Call policy is terrible. The only way you get paid time and half for call backs is to work 40 hours a week. If you’re PRN or part time you will never get time and a half for for call backs. Retention is low so always short staffed. The hospital expects you to do more with less. HR does not see the value in being a sonographer, especially if you’re specialized. Always seemed like they believed you could easily be replaced. Almost never got an uninterrupted 30 min lunch. There was also hardly anywhere for employees to go to take a break from the work place. Some people don’t have to put in the work to get raises and advance the career ladder like others do. Nurses got treated better than anyone else at the hospital. A nurse manager runs the echo labs with no understanding of the ins and outs of the job. They try to make changes without trying to understand it. Also parking is outrageous. Nobody should be paying $90 a month to park their car for work
