Pros

My office environment was very comfortable and I had the opportunity to work with a fun team of doctors. There was no micromanagement and I was able to freely develop my own work habits.

Cons

There is really no room for growth for support staff. There are seasoned workers that have been in the same position for 10+ years that don't like to share their tools and resources with newer teammates. Training is pretty non-existent so you have to heavily depend on the seasoned workers to learn how to do your job but it is difficult to learn when they are unwilling to share their knowledge with you. There is also a huge lack of communication between managers and departments, which is why a lot of things get missed or dropped. The leadership team also lack problem solving skills. The same common problems will come up over and over again and yet there never seems to be a resolution to prevent it from happening again. Physicians are treated like royalty while support staff are treated like just another number that can easily be replaced. Also, a lot of funding seems to be going towards ads on TV and Pandora, while employees' annual merit increase were significantly decreased.

Pros

+The company is severely incompetent +Trauma-bonding with your co-workers will never be easier

Cons

-Toxic management culture: you'll frequently be brought into full-team meetings where the management will circle-jerk themselves, refuse to listen to team members, change random procedures, then ask why the workers want to unionize. -The company is SEVERELY incompetent: the company blows thousands of dollars on worthless things like their own in-house AI chatbot GPT clone and refuses to spend money on resources wisely while simultaneously complaining about the budget. -Abhorrently dishonest: They let me go after bringing me into a meeting to discuss "communication expectations." They then refused to allow two-party consent for recording, fired me for apparently "violating their standards of protocol", refused to allow me to stay to gather any evidence of their random firing, and refused to respond to any emails to confirm the nature of the meeting. This was ALSO the week before the management promised everyone on our team an annual raise. -Separation is a nightmare: Not only did they lie about the reason for separation before being busted by the state, but they also refuse to cash out PTO time, and HR is a nightmare to work with when confirming details for state services.
