Leadership in for themselves, "watch out"!

Hospitalist

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are able to work outside of the corporate office at a contracted site, you may be able to have minimal contact with the leadership team or be placed in a region that has good leadership. The less you have to deal with any level of leadership...the better.

Cons

Money hungry!!! Lost track of their original concept of Physicians are our greatest asset. Continuously trying to keep up with the evolution of healthcare, but unfortunately are unable to do so without stealing the work of others by partnering with them or not giving credit where credit is due. For those on the ground...no incentives, no corporate ladder. They pre-select their leadership team, before jobs are posted. Some of leadership are hostile. HR used as a cover up, rather than a protector for employees. etc, etc, etc, etc.

It'll give you a heart attack.

Pros

Not a thing good about this place.

Cons

an e-mail, guess what - SHE DOESN'T CARE! But you better not fall behind in your work due to the unnecessary meetings, because even though you told her you didn't have time - You should've somehow prioritized better....make sense? -_- Oh, and be careful of snakes in the office. Almost everyone up there uses very vulgar language, but it's only allowed if you're in good with the management if you're in the provider services dept. Plus, the amount of gossip here is ridiculous! If you're a POC, don't expect to get the same recognition as your fellow co-workers that aren't. Don't expect leadership to EVER be honest with you about their intentions. Don't expect to be supported when dealing with extremely rude nurses & doctors. If you love being insulted, screamed at, etc. this is the perfect fit for you. Don't expect any appreciation of your hard work. This place seems great at first, but honestly, it's a garbage show & I'm so happy I left for something better. If Rob Bessler truly saw how things were at this location, he'd have a fit. Lazy people got away with a lot because of who they were connected to & the same for liars.

Toxic Work Environment.

Pros

Depending on leadership, very flexible place to work. Remote work is very common. Free coffee and tea and quarterly catered lunches. Good, hardworking, pleasant people are hired so your day to day experience is nice. Pay is almost competitive. Benefits start upon hire. PTO is generous.

Cons

1. Completely manual processes 2. Lean administrative staff workforce This means an INCREDIBLY high workload and barely anyone is able to keep up. Turnover in the Tacoma office is insane, so the pile of work just gets shifted around. 2. Benefit sucks. 401K plan has a 5k cap, only get matched after 18 months and you only get the money 1x a year if you're employed 12/31 of the year before. High premiums and deductibles. And I mean this LITERALLY--- No structure, no training, no communication, barely raises, no room for growth or advancement, and no appreciation if you work in a supportive role (not doctor, nurses or field execs)
