Pros

Good compensation Basic stated values, which are what attracted me in the first place Friendly coworkers Staff members were like family

Cons

Company often promotes self-serving, narcissistic individuals to managerial positions and is too concerned about keeping Millennials happy. The company passes over those with experience and promotes young workers to positions of power that they're not yet ready to handle, causing strife within the workforce. Lots of wasted talent.

Good Place To Work

Pros

You get to practice autonomously. EMR has integrated UptoDate. Good support system. Salary is competitive. There are some limitations to what you can do in a retail health clinic, however The Little Clinic is expanding it's services constantly which allows the provider to practice according to their scope of practice. Great support system. Somewhat flexible schedule IF you have another provider that is willing to be flexible with you in your clinic. The company has had alot of changes and reorganization in the past two years that have made this company a much better place to work and have a good work life balance.

Cons

Constantly changing. Sometimes it is hard to keep up with what exactly you are supposed to be doing now. Retail health is new and there is alot of room for opportunity to grow and provide easier access to healthcare. If you aren't good with change, challenge, and willing to grow, this is not the place for you. Another con, Long days and every other weekend, and holidays, except Christmas and Thanksgiving. Sometimes you have a receptionist, sometimes it is just you.

Pros

Smith's has lot of resources and opportunities for employees, and many benefits that increase with the more hours that you work for them. You will get promoted for working hard, but raises are few and far between; they are usually quick to demote those with a poor work ethic. If you happen to apply to an already healthy store, you will be fine.

Cons

It's a "work-to-win" system, as a new part-time employee will receive no benefits. Management is very apathetic towards employees, they want results, and don't care if your department is understaffed. The OSAT score that they push employees to strive for is an inherently broken system and promotes an unhealthy work environment. The willingness to work around your schedule for a college student is completely dependent on your department manager, you may or may not have a bad experience with that. No store consistency. A promotion will often lead to more responsibility with little compensation for the extra stress. Many managers are asked to transfer to other stores on a whim every few months.
