Pros
Your work MEANS something. You are a vital part of the community and its ability to help people when they need medical assistance. It can be invigorating to meet people of all walks of life every single day. The locations rotate so you're never seeing the same scene out of the window. Your coworkers can either be your best friends or someone you strive to be better than.
Cons
I should not have to micro-manage my own management just to get paid. I shouldn't have to come up with excuses to get necessary maintenance on my car, make life-changing medical appointments, or be present for major life events in my family. I shouldn't have to use my accrued pto to make the minimum required full-time hours I was guaranteed on hire just to pay my bills and feed those I care for. How about having you're schedule changed at almost midnight the day before with no notice or warning. Unending emails about how we mess up, we aren't good enough, we can do better, you need to remember this, not do that, how dare you, what's wrong with you, why are you so wrong, etc etc. The constant badgering to move up, up up in position to fill the gaps created by burnt out and pissed off staff who leave. Constantly having to remember names and faces of people as they come through like a conveyor line of fresh meat that may or may not make it to even 3 months before falling off the face of the planet. But don't you dare miss the chance to plug the phone number for all of them cause if they make it through training and manage to stick it out despite the red flags waving in their faces non-stop you've got to be able to reach them for all manner of information cause if we don't communicate amongst ourself half the time things won't get done. If you're not in the immediate orbit of management, if you don't volunteer your personal hours to work, if you have any opinion whatsoever that goes against the grain, then you are going to have a rough time. Work-life balance doesn't exist and good luck trying to find a new place to work while being employed here because you can't answer your phone to schedule an interview when you've got a 16-gauge needle uncapped and aimed at someone's arm while the bus shakes around you violently. Don't even get me started on actually making those interviews with your schedule changing like it's some high-stakes game of the floor is lava, but the floor is your available time to do just about anything outside the company. I could go on, but I think you get the idea.
