Pros

Opportunities for professional growth through classes, projects, and programs. Management and a local administration who genuinely cares about their staff. Great coworkers. Apparent culture of awareness - people make eye contact and greet one another, and take the time to get to know each other even if they are in different roles.

Cons

Like many places of business, it seems the cost of benefits increases while the benefits themselves become more limited.

Pros

In the outpatient clinics, if you're busy, you can make a lot of money compared to the same job outside of the hospital system. They have health and dental benefits, 401K and matching as well as life insurance. It's an admired health care system with loyal patients. There are many locations to practice from. They have EPIC emr which is fabulous for the patients. You have freedom to practice the way you choose, but there are metrics which are strongly suggested and tied to bonuses you can earn based on patient satisfaction and outcomes.

Cons

If your clinic isn't busy enough, you won't make very much after your guarantee is over. It could be due to the restructuring or change in leadership, but, some doctors are making great pay ($200K +) and some are barely making it ($125-150K+). My advice - be aggressive with pursuing the salary you desire. Keep in mind that you really can't control your costs since the clinics are run by Methodist There are a plethora of costs that eat into your profit margin (fees for referral department, billing fees are mandatory fixed costs, facility and maintenance fees). if you can't control your costs, then you can't make as much money. Methodist management's answers to low pay - see more patients, work harder, extend your hours which may or may not be feasible to your particular needs. Health insurance has 3 options with the most expensive being the one that grants out of network availability. However, the price for insurance and copays is going up ($40 for pcp in network, $60 for out of network $80 to see a specialist) and premiums are on the higher end since Methodist is self-insured. If your spouse has access to insurance in their job it will likely be a better option.

Thank you for your well-articulated review. We hope that your experience with us will improve in the areas that need it ("Work on personalizing the experience of your workers.") and remain positive in those areas that are working well ("You have freedom to practice the way you choose ..."). In addition to patient satisfaction, we strive for a satisfaction among our providers and will keep working toward that end.

Pros

Competitive pay and flexible schedule

Cons

Like most companies, it's all about the bottom line. Employee satisfaction is not important.

Thank you for your review. Actually, we do care about employee satisfaction, and we continually strive to create a friendly, collegial workplace. One of the ways we do that is to provide employees with Employee Engagement Surveys every other year. Departments with low scores are put on an improvement plan. We would be happy to confidentially discuss your concerns. Please email us at hrcareer@mhd.com.
