Pros

- Good stepping stone into the medical field since they’ll hire you with no experience/degree. - The company is career-focused; opportunity to advance quickly. - Pay is fair; you will be evaluated for salary increases. - Diversity was lacking though they’ve made efforts to improve. - Great people; inclusion is not a problem most of the time. - Great group of doctors; most are easy to get along with. - Supervisors don’t micromanage, very open.

Cons

- Clinics are VeRY busy & repetitive ((coworkers will avoid screening the 1st & last patient)). - Lots of travel between various clinics (15+) - FT: It’s possible to travel between clinics 5 days a week only to end the week 30 hours. - High turnover & burnout. - Seniority doesn’t matter. There’s no sense of loyalty toward employees with longevity. Someone with 3mo in the company has the same opportunity to advance as someone with 3yrs. - Excessive amount of training (pro & con). - There are several bad influences amongst Team Leaders; a group of immature individuals whose behavior is subtle, inappropriate, meant to intimidate others. Supervisors rely heavily on their judgment. - Supervisors avoid conflicts & encourage you to confront anyone you have issue with.

Pros

Amazing co-workers and physicians. Beautiful offices, PTO accrual is at a good rate. good growth and skills learned in all departments. Regional aspect makes it better for work-life balance. Remote positions available(after experience).

Cons

Extremely short staffed to where people are burnt out. Not much acknowledgement to burn out. Being told they are making changes to make it better for employees, but making it more difficult. Being told we are heard, which may be true, but are not understood. Plans to rely on AI for working models to cut cost. Increasing physician count and patient count while reducing staff or keeping it the same, spreading current staff thinner. due to burn out, many people are quitting. high turnover rate.
