Pros

There's a lot of positions available. A lot of shifts available. Location is pretty centrally located if you live in Pittsburgh--right off of main bus lines. There's a lot of pleasant people working there.

Cons

Everything. The salary is low compared to acute care facilities. Management and supervisors are completely lazy, unreliable, and incompetent. Discipline is completely arbitrary. Lots of people are so criminally negligent they would have their butts fired and probably prosecuted if they were at other places I've worked, while some of the best coworkers I've ever seen get driven out for trivial things like punching out a few minutes late. No flexibility in scheduling.

Pros

you can set your own schedule, you can work hybrid/remote if you're meeting metrics

Cons

god awful to work for, they will over work you then blame you when you dont take your lunch breaks or when you go into overtime. you have to be READY to sustain the demand of this job fr. inconsistent pay raises (if any). management is incredibly difficult and moody and cliquey. when they like you they'll be helpful, when they don't, your clients will suffer because of it and you will take the blame from both sides
