Pros

Very friendly people with great ideas and plans for the future.

Cons

Very disappointed. Was hired with lots of promises but quickly learned much of what was said will not come to fruition. Cannot impress upon potential future employees: get it in writing and be prepared to challenge when the bait and switch is revealed. Expect to hear "This is the Harbor Way" (which is an excuse for not following through with what you are told) a lot. Communication between upper and middle management and the people that are actually doing the work is poor. Benefits are marginal, pay is not competitive, merit pay increases are nonexistent.

Pros

The flowery language and promises during the hiring process sound great on paper.

Cons

Management frequently uses the excuse of being a "new" company to justify highly unstable practices. Without warning, they laid off approximately 90% of their RN staff. Operationally, the infrastructure is lacking: the EMR system is incredibly frustrating to work with, and the cheap telephone system they utilize makes daily communication inefficient. Provider turnover is massive, leaving the South Austin and south-of-Austin locations with zero permanent physicians. Because of the lack of providers, urgent care clinics are often forced to close. It creates a stressful work environment where you constantly feel like "doom is around the corner." Patients are noticeably leaving the practice.
