Pros
- Fully integrated multispecialty medical group with mature EMR (EPIC). - Collaborating and communicating with colleagues is very easy. - Ability to provide gold standard of care to patients. - Capable and friendly colleagues. - Generous PTO and CME allowance. - Benefits from day 1. - Good retirement plan. - Ample opportunities for participating in committees, quality improvement projects, research and teaching. - Medical management is mostly receptive to ideas related to improving things around. - No traffic. - Patients are mostly respectful to healthcare workers in comparison to most cities.
Cons
- Low salary for some physicians (they were unable to afford to pay me the 10th percentile for my specialty) - Minimal raises. - Space is a premium for some departments. I did not have an office. - Removed from urban amenities (3 hours away from a real city) - Mediocre public schools with the exception of Lewisburg school district. No good private school alternatives. - Long commuting for outreach clinics for some specialties (20-90 miles)
