Pros

Nothing Good Here, Do Better!

Cons

I feel compelled to write a negative review about my time working for Inspired Spine. Unfortunately, my experience with this company has been nothing short of disappointing, and I would strongly caution others against seeking employment here. To begin with, the owner and CEO of Inspired Spine exhibited a delusional approach to running the company. Their decision-making was often irrational and lacked strategic vision, resulting in poor outcomes for both employees and the business as a whole. Their inability to recognize and address the company's shortcomings hindered progress and created a chaotic work environment. Moreover, there was a disturbing prevalence of inter-office dating within Inspired Spine, which compromised professionalism and created a hostile workplace. This kind of favoritism and nepotism led to a lack of transparency and fairness in decision-making processes. It also made it difficult for employees to trust that promotions and opportunities were based on merit rather than personal relationships. Another significant issue was the outdated equipment and technology used at Inspired Spine. The company failed to invest in modern tools and resources necessary to deliver high-quality work. This outdated infrastructure not only hampered productivity but also placed unnecessary burdens on employees, who were forced to find workarounds to accomplish tasks that should have been streamlined with up-to-date equipment. In addition, the management team appeared to be scared of the CEO, creating an atmosphere of fear and inhibiting open communication. The fear of repercussions and lack of autonomy stifled creativity and innovation. Employees were discouraged from offering suggestions or expressing concerns, as doing so was seen as a threat rather than an opportunity for improvement. Furthermore, Inspired Spine did not adhere to Equal Opportunity Employment (EOE) practices. Discrimination based on gender, race, and other protected characteristics was evident and not addressed appropriately. The company's failure to prioritize diversity and inclusion underscored a disregard for basic ethical standards. Adding insult to injury, Inspired Spine lacked a dedicated HR department. This absence left employees without a proper channel to address grievances, seek guidance, or report misconduct. The lack of HR support created an environment of helplessness and allowed management to act with impunity, further exacerbating the issues within the company. Lastly, Inspired Spine failed to fulfill their promise of paying the promised bonus. This breach of trust left employees feeling undervalued and betrayed. It highlighted a lack of integrity and a disregard for honoring commitments made to the workforce. Overall, my time at Inspired Spine has been marred by delusional leadership, inter-office dating complications, outdated equipment, a culture of fear, a lack of equal opportunity, the absence of an HR department, and unfulfilled promises regarding compensation. I strongly advise potential employees to thoroughly evaluate their options before considering employment at Inspired Spine. Please note that this review is based on my personal experience and may not reflect the opinions of every employee at Inspired Spine.

You Deserve Better

Pros

The immediate clinical team is lovely and generally easy to work with and collaborate. It's a hectic day-to-day environment, so having a good support system around you means a lot. This support system was the only reason I stayed at my position for as long as I did.

Cons

The CMO/founder is very difficult to work with. The CMO is not in the clinic super often due to working at other sites and being in surgery, but when he's there the environment changes. He yells at employees who can't stand up to him for fear of being fired, makes unreasonable demands of others' off hours, and generally just breeds a culture of fear around the workplace. He will also spend more time doing social media/promotional work than actually spending time in clinic with his patients, whenever he can help it. I understand having high expectations of your staff and wanting the best for your company, but that's no excuse to treat others around you like they're beneath you. Also, don't expect to be given the time of day if you're a woman. You as an employee deserve better than to be subjected to this kind of behavior from a superior. Also, in addition to all this, in the clinic assistant role you will be responsible for work that could easily be distributed among 2-3 different roles. This will include preparing for each patient's appointment (ensuring medical records and imaging are available for the doctor to see), preparing visit notes for scribes (which is also you) to use when in the appointments themselves, and all with little to no support from higher-ups. Also, this position puts you in close proximity with the surgeons, which includes the CMO, meaning you will be subjected to his behavior very often.

Pros

Pay and benefits are good

Cons

-There is no HR -You will be expected to do way more than just your job title, everyone at Inspired Spine has added duties and tasks outside of their job description -Random schedule, as a PA you are expected to round whenever the surgeons are unavailable, including on the weekend. There is a "rounding schedule" but the surgeons do not follow it and expect you to round if they are out of town -Strong focus on profit over patient care -A lot of bad outcomes from surgeries, which PAs and nurses are expected to help the patient manage. After the surgery the surgeons avoid the patients at all cost. -A toxic work environment with a lot of turnover -Strongly misrepresented the job during the interview process
