Pros

At my practice, the management team is super approachable and understanding. The work-life balance is pretty good. Wellstar has a pretty amazing benefits package. They are genuinely dedicated to a culture of DEIB, which is very important to me personally. The workload at my practice is very reasonable, and the work itself is fulfilling and rewarding.

Cons

As a not-for-profit org, there seems to be a lot of focus from upper management on the bottom line. This can translate into lower than market rate pay for clinical staff. As with most health systems, PTO is used for holidays rather than them genuinely being PAID HOLIDAYS. PTO is also used for sick time, although they do offer EIB (if you're out for 3+ days) but the accrual rate is abysmal. I have worked at other practices within Wellstar and had significantly worse experiences and each practice is different. CEO and upper management are paid obscene salaries while the folks who actually make the system work scrape by.

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!!!!
