Pros

Very organized, professional staff. Young environment, you can have tattoos and dyed hair. You travel a good amount, a lot of down time. The company ran very smoothly. I was pretty impressed with my coworkers' abilities to deal with huge crowds, crazy animals, technical difficulties, etc, and still maintain excellent customer service. In general, I thought the job was alright. I learned a lot and worked with fun people. Rarely will you hear this, but the managers and supervisors were actually very nice and approachable.I left because I found a job in the field I studied. I would return to them as a customer.

Cons

You basically work EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND, and often have to stay overnight in a hotel, sharing a room with a coworker. My biggest issue is this, they said they pay $11/hr, but then I come to find out that is only when you're in "clinic time" which amounts to roughly 5 hours of $11/hr per shift. When you are in "drive time," which is the time you spend in a big van being driven by a 20-year-old (also any time you are parked waiting for the clinic to start), you only get $8/hr. ALSO, you don't get paid for the time you spend in a hotel overnight, (sometimes two nights) in a different state with nothing to do. Doctors could also be unprofessional or mean and hard to work with, but for the most part though, they were okay.
