Pros

I loved the patient population which was incredibly diverse. We would typically have to use a translation service for at least a third of our patients each day. I really enjoyed working with these patients and learning about their cultures.

Cons

Direct leadership micromanaged and was condescending and disrespectful. The direct leadership clearly has never worked in a clinic and does not understand how they function. Yet the same leadership was completely in control of everything in the clinic. I answered at least a dozen questions when I requested a power cord for my laptop. Why do I need one? Do I take my computer home at night? Why do I take it home? What do I use it for?... My clinic was also understaffed. I think that worked great for leadership because they could show cost savings. It did not work well for the staff whose responsibilities did not change--regardless of being at least one person short of being fully staffed. PTO and CME days were regularly declined--even when I gave the required four weeks advance notice. I would have to review the day's schedule with leadership daily and justify the duration of every single appointment. As far as I know, I am at least the third provider to leave because of these issues. This makes me think it is a culture-thing. Not just a single bad manager. I know I personally spoke with upper management on two separate occasions about my concerns. Not one thing changed after those talks.

Pros

Great company to work for with strong leadership support and a team culture that genuinely cares about employee wellbeing and growth. Premise invests in continuing education, development opportunities, and provides great resources for both professional and personal health. I’ve especially appreciated the focus on whole-person wellness through programs like Sonic Boom, which makes healthy habits fun, engaging, and community-driven. Leadership is approachable, supportive, and encourages innovation and collaboration across teams.

Cons

As a large healthcare organization, some systems and processes can feel a bit outdated, especially with how quickly technology and the fitness industry evolve. That said, because Premise is a healthcare company, everything has to go through extensive vetting for compliance and safety, which is understandable. There are also a lot of policies and standardized procedures that don’t always perfectly translate to the fitness side of operations since many are built more around healthcare models. The environment can be stricter at times, but leadership is generally open-minded, willing to listen to feedback, and continues to evolve as the fitness and wellness division grows.
