Pros

- Annual travel to Canada to meet with HQ team - Amazing colleagues with big brains and hearts

Cons

- “Move uncomfortably fast” is their core company value…in healthcare. - Abusive, patronizing leadership with no business acumen, healthcare experience, or moral compass. - C-suite leadership can barely manage to hold a conversation with employees. CEO says embarrassingly out-of-pocket statements in front of the entire organization, often at the expense of others. - Morally-questionable, profit-driven company decisions are made without any foresight, strategic thinking, or patient care in mind. The business is only turning a profit because of sheer luck during covid. No true efforts have been made to plan for the company’s financial stability. - Nothing sets CM apart from their competitors, aside from doing everything worse. - Contracted providers have little to no interest in patient care or consistency. - Cannot retain providers across their three (3) brick and mortar clinics (across 27 states). Patients constantly tossed around from PCP to PCP. - Full head office team is based outside the US and has no prior knowledge of US healthcare system intricacies. They are forced to learn on their own. - Constant, non-sensical firing of strong leaders and tenured employees. Leadership has a culture of placing blame versus recognizing their own shortcomings. - Absolutely no praise for jobs well done, just illogical and profane criticism for insignificant deviations from leadership’s “vision.” - Criticism for stretching yourself thin, then criticism for not doing enough. No actual company goals or objective success metrics. - Disrespectful, inept, and non-compliant People Operations team. Often completely ignores employee messages for months despite repeated follow-ups. - Irresponsible and discriminatory comp structure from the top down, while a nurse practitioner in leadership is paid $300k+ USD, physicians with patient contact are paid well below median salaries in their area.

Pros

low home studio investment required. no one checks on you ever.

Cons

Do all these patients have ADHD and need amphetamines? The upper staff turned over entirely with no transparency. Requests for help are expected to be answered by other clinical staff.
