Pros

The work schedule is supposed to be 7 on/7 off; but we are constantly hounded, pressured, guilted into doing extra shifts because the Gulf region managers cannot seem to run the show and get the shifts filled. It's been more than 9 months since Sound acquired my previous group; at that time, management leader Dr Greg Johnson threatened that "our jobs would be filled with an abundant locum tenens staff" if we did not transition with the group. So, where are they? We are constantly understaffed, overworked. As far as I am concerned, this type of underhanded management threatens the safety of the patients, the reputation of the hospital, and puts the physicians at risk.

Cons

Management does not keep their word. You have been warned, but do your own due diligence. If you are a hospitalist, and consider working for Sound, you need to proceed cautiously; ask lots of questions, and talk to several physicians who work for them.

Pros

Met some great people throughout the years.

Cons

They use every excuse not to give you a raise. They constantly change your work flow. They don’t allow you to take breaks. This company paints you an image that is very positive. The truth is that it is far from. Regional team looks down at all employees and some are bullies. What professionals you know use profanity and threats as to who they know in company against physicians who are trying to make a positive change for what is right. Unless you know someone there it is hard for you to move up. I believe them to be discriminatory. They judge you without knowing you no matter how hard you work and how well you work. They take pride is bashing you to everyone that comes on and taint them as well of your image. They cannot keep staff and feel as if everyone is replaceable which is why all their sites are doing poorly. I have never seen a company treat physicians so poorly.

Pros

Recruiter excellent at finding dependable and excellent hospitalist colleagues.

Cons

Sound Physicians are more interested in pleasing a hospital at the expense of its employees to keep a contract with that hospital. Sound appears to be interested in the bottom line rather than in the best interests of their employees.
