Business Outlook
Pros
SCAN has mission driven culture where our clinicians are deeply invested in the well being of our members, ensuring every medical decision is guided by genuine compassion and a commitment to senior health. Scan has great work life balance.
Cons
Clinical org is dysfunctional at best for instance, President’s Chief of Staff acting as a CMO, making high-level clinical decisions without the necessary clinical background. Besides me, people I work with is also losing patience.

• 4-day workweek (I get Mondays and Tuesdays off.)

Cons
It’s stressful to handle grievances and appeals. You must have the stamina if you want this kind of job.
The location is decent enough, and the commute did not make things worse than they already were.
Cons
- There is a very clear in group culture in the office, and if you are not included from day one, you are immediately at a disadvantage.
- People stick to the same lunch groups every day with the same conversations, and if you are outside of that circle, you are simply left observing.
- Getting basic work answers can become unnecessarily difficult because information tends to circulate only within informal groups that are never openly shared.
- Effort and performance do not seem to matter much compared to social placement within the office hierarchy, which appears to be decided almost immediately during onboarding.
- Management acts as if none of this exists, even though it is felt constantly by anyone outside those circles.
