Vantaggi
The office environment in our office was OK. By that, I mean that my co-recruiter became a close friend, and we got through our days by joking around and trying to make light of a pretty rough situation. I do feel that I gained some relevant experience in the business world, but it was done at the expense of my health and overall happiness. You can find some intrinsic motivation and satisfaction by realizing that you are helping people and providing an important service. However, you have to find this motivation within yourself because management frowns on that type of thinking. Management is purely money-motivated.
Svantaggi
There are horrible office hours, 7:30am to 6:00pm on a good day. Most days are even longer. Don't even ask about flu season! Even all that wouldn't be THAT bad, except when you go home, you are still at work because you carry an on-call phone for "emergencies" and have to cover call-offs and other problems all night and all weekend. Promotions are constantly talked about but appear to be much more of a myth than what management would have you believe. I never once saw a promotion of anyone I knew within the company. The turnover rate for internal employees is over 80%. That alone should say something about job satisfaction. The environment is negative all day. You will never get an "atta boy" or a "good job" from anyone. My account manager always used to say that he knew he wasn't the best manager or motivator.... Ok, but does that make it right for him to belittle people all the time? I don't think so... If I had frequently proclaimed that I knew I wasn't very good at processing payroll, that would not be an excuse for constant mistakes in nurses paychecks. Overall, I feel like part of my soul was damaged for being part of this company. Steer clear if you can help it.
