Pros

It's a job. For some Weekly pay works well. For me Not so much.

Cons

Favoritism: they keep in a position of a bottom feeder (per say)! They never allow new employees to advance. There is still discrimination against newer Employees. And this hurts or harms the chance to advance. When a newer employee has a legitimate grievance they become marked as a trouble maker and forced to resign before their grievance is reviewed by management. An incoming employee who is qualified for a higher paying position is constantly overlooked for promotion or restricted to lower paying posts or sites indefinitely! Frequently management staff will assign a New employee to a lower paying position Just to save the better position for someone or another employee that they know personally! Lack of professionalism throughout the management staff.

Pros

There aren't any pros for this organization

Cons

It might depend on the site, but the general consensus for most sites is that this company, no matter where it is, is a clown show. Pay is trash, the management is trash, they cant keep anybody because they treat people like trash. I have had so many different managers and they some how all have been crap people. The pay (23$) is not enough for Boston, and i think no amount of money will ever be enough to deal with this place. Its so bad people quit during training or within the first month.

Pros

This job is extremely easy with moderate stress.

Cons

They stole money from me by cutting my overtime pay rate from 1.5 times my hourly rate to 1.4 times my hourly rate (which is against the law). It literally showed me getting paid .10 to $1.00 per hour less depending on how much they felt I was worth that week. Disgusting. And the one constant every year is the lack of vacation pay. They offer it, it's just that you put in for the vacation time months in advance. The days come and go and the week when the check is supposed to come you realize they didn't pay you your vacation time. Than you have to call the office weekly for months, until you give up. It's been like this for years. They refused to pay employees there hourly rate for being out sick during the Corona, even though the company makes multi billion dollars a year. The CEO wanted to save money by shorting the overtime pay rates during the Corona, as well. They took away my two weeks of vacation time away by "mistake" and it's been 3 months of me calling to get that time restored and nothing. Now I'm being told that the corporate office has to fix it. Irritating! This cheap company with their cheap CEO have stole from their employees, and screwed them out of earnings. The place we work at, a hospital, paid all of their employees thousands in extra money for working in a hazardous environment. And our company couldn't even pay us our hourly rate, (I can't say this enough) resorting to stealing from us, and refused to pay us for our forced two weeks off of work after getting the Corona.
