Pros
As part of our renewed contracts with the company, our previous non-competition agreements were removed, as Blue Sprig said they wanted to show us that they only wanted employees working for them who wanted to be there. I, like others, found this to be very admirable, and this action quickly promoted loyalty among the staff. Earlier, at the initial announcement meeting, it was also said by the new CEO that this would be a meritocracy, and that any employee who showed the effort could absolutely work their way up. Many were encouraged by this and believed him.
Cons
It was revealed today towards the end of the work day that we would not be paid all of the days that our clinic would be closed for Thanksgiving; specifically, holiday pay would be given for Thanksgiving Day, but we will not be paid for Wednesday or Friday, days that our office is closed and we have no ability to work towards our paycheck. This quickly brought down morale among many of my teammates, both new and established. It should also be noted that this information was not given freely, but instead had to be asked about by several people who had the mind to be concerned over such things.
