Pros

Pay is about all. If you are self op it could be hard to find another job that pays as much.

Cons

As the chef you are expected to be the chef, caterer, cook, server, retail, host, dish etc. they run staffing short and cut hours based on census not based on job needs. You could be in the middle of doctors week doing a bunch of functions, short 2 cooks, and multiple call outs. Then be told you were over on productive hours and that we need to cut hours to meet impossible numbers that are generated by someone in an office that isn’t even in your local hospital. If you are self op instead of contract your staffing will still be benchmarked with contract hospitals which most of their salary employees aren’t counted meaning you could be up to 10 employees short.

Pros

There some flexibility with scheduling and they let you pick up as many shifts as you want and pretty much your own schedule.

Cons

Very poorly managed, chronically understaffed but managers are dismissive and deny it. The support from staff is inconsistent, the staff nurses are either fresh new grads or very bitter nurses who don’t want to help and expect you to handle everything by yourself as a tech. Most nurses here are PRN’s on contracts that get floated so it’s really hard to expect consistency in the staff you work with and build trusting relationships. Management will promise to train you as a unit secretary but will never follow up. They also agree to help you get opportunities for learning and growth but refuse to follow up or forget about it altogether, despite reminders. It’s not a priority. If your goal is to grow and learn more this is not the place. It’s running on fumes at 95% of the time. Very high turnover, we struggle to keep staff. They’ll call you in to pick up when they’re understaffed with no incentive or something minimal like “swag” (some gear). Very poorly compensated and you will not be appreciated for the hard work you do. Also it took 2 months for them to get me started despite numerous attempts to reach the HR, Management etc.
