Pros

Great benefits; PDO add up quick, health/vision/eye insurance at a fair rate. Awesome team of clinical staff in all nursing departments.

Cons

Short staffed, heavy workload because of this. Constantly getting floated to other units/floors causing much frustration. Low pay compared to the cost of living. Small yearly raises (.01- .10 cents) Have to schedule your days off and PDO at a minimum of two months in advance. Impossible to travel during holidays, you either work Christmas Eve or Christmas for example.

Pros

Care associates are allowed to do what CNAs do, but they do not have to have the certification. Entry level pay is the same and there are equal raises between roles each year. Part time status an average of 24 hr/week, you can work more than that and you receive full benefits, two forms of bonus every year, immediate PTO (80hrs/year). 12 or 8 hour shifts available, make your own schedule

Cons

sometimes short staffed unit, so work becomes fast-paced - if you like being active and constantly moving, this job is fun.
