Pros

They offer high compensation through a productivity based production formula. Notably, you get credit for everything that you bill, regardless of whether they actually collect.

Cons

Be very careful as a physician about being employed by them. They have difficulty attracting specialists and use a employment model to recruit. The financial terms are generous but after you sign on, you are saddled with a very weak management team that has no significant physician representation. Accordingly, you may find yourself at a clinic where they have assigned you inadequate space or you show up for work and they are short MAs/LPNs for days on end. You are powerless to get any of these issues fixed in a timely manner. They also effectively change the terms of your compensation retroactively by giving you less credit for a procedure/service after you sign, without adjusting your minimum productivity threshold. The organization is in a very defensive posture recently as the competing health system received a $400 million donation and has completely overtaken them in recruiting new doctors and in facility expansion.

Pros

It's an option of you choose to work for a Christian organization. It's expected of employees to treat patients with dignity and respect.

Cons

Employees do not get the same courtesy of dignity and respect as patients do. New to EPIC. Went live at midnight. Chose the most minimal transition option. Training was minimal and now the expectation is to function with i a system that has not even tested in practice. Upper management does not take the effect of line staff into consideration.

Pros

Excellent nurses and medical professionals. Policies are simple enough to follow and allow for room to exercise your scope of practice.

Cons

Staffing is always an issue, but the same frustrations at any workplace are heightened because of the stressful nature and oftentimes the lack of support from supervisors.
