Pros
Flexible shift length scheduling as long as working within pay period requirements for your position (ex, 5×8s, 4×10s, 5×7s)
Flexible morning start time
Experience with various patient populations (low to high acuity)
Kontras
Unable to get PTO approved unless given a year in advance even for one day. You can't plan anything not knowing if you *might* have to work that weekend in 6 months.
For appointments, they want you to leave and come back to work your full shift or make it up.
Caseload scheduling is inefficient and administrative tasks eats into patient care time. There is minimal desire for management to create and implement solutions.
