Pros

The neighborhood is really pretty.

Cons

The owner of the company, Joey Jacobs, hires his friends and then supports them no matter what. My CEO was the worst. He never left his office and didn't have a clue what was going on in the hospital. He would make fun of the employees behind their back. Constant turnover and manager changes didn't matter to corporate. It's really all about the bottom line. Patients are admitted based on who has the better insurance. The patients and the good employees suffer.

Pros

Ability to work from home, bonus money is decent, and overtime is pretty abundant.

Cons

Cons: Management showed very little compassion or flexibility during serious medical situations. I was dealing with severe spinal cord compression and kept my supervisor informed every step of the way. My doctor’s appointment had to be rescheduled due to a tornado threat, and the physician was unexpectedly out until the following Monday, which delayed my documentation. Despite being upfront and communicative, I was terminated before I could even obtain the note. Losing my job and health insurance in the middle of a serious medical crisis was devastating. The role itself can also feel emotionally draining because intake staff are often left handling upset patients and families without enough support from the facilities. I had to reschedule my surgery so I couldn’t get married and put on my Husband’s insurance, kind of sucks a healthcare company would do an employee that way!
