Pros

Autonomy, salary commensurate to years of experience, fair health insurance benefits, extensive onboarding, and orientation process, decent perks such as limited backup childcare, on-site concierge services, food, and Rx pay with employee badge, honey baked ham gift card at Christmas, etc. Some loyal and valuable colleagues and administration that contribute to team collaboration and good patient care. Helpful online access to benefits, leave balances, online training, etc. Meetings attended through phone conferences.

Cons

The claims and agreements made during the hiring process, orientation, and onboarding do not carry over into the job. Wasteful time spent in the orientation period learning information that is not applicable to the job expectations and unclear answers to specific questions related to job duties. Unrealistic productivity expectations and territory size overseen by administrators that are too far removed or have never experienced the demands of a field position. Regular feedback from quality assurance to fix past oversights that could be easily fixed by the office staff upon detection that take clinician time away from direct patient care and are not compensated for. Clinicians are expected to complete documentation on their own time in order to meet productivity expectations. Consistent additions to the documentation system and the redundancies are maddening. An extreme need for streamlining, simplifying, and revamping the archaic electronic and HANDWRITTEN documentation systems as well as the efficiency of personnel roles and job duties. Not enough staff to cover the workload and nothing in place to manage the workload when an employee takes PTO. Poor team collaboration and little done to fix the "bad apples", which directly affects patient care. The professional growth, scholarship, and educational advancement program is more complicated than it is originally presented as.

Pros

Diversified Varied shifts Diversified Varied locations

Cons

Games get played with promotions!!! Job descriptions are changed to allow certain people into positions then changed back. Regardless of tenure, one can be passed up for promotions because the "powers that be" want a particular person in a role that is a "yes man/woman" instead of someone more qualified. People have even been promoted into director roles without having a degree and/or little to no experience vs someone with a degree or years of experience. Raises are not fairly given. Again, tenure does not matter. Compensation needs to bring positions and salaries up to the current market value, Work life balance is a joke!!!!
