Pros

Flexible schedule. Paid parking. Starting wage. Benefits start on first day of employment. PTO adds up quickly.

Cons

No cost of living raise. Unfair performance reviews lead to no annual raise. No profit sharing based on average performance review. All departments are understaffed and overworked. Unmanageable work load. Leadership is unapproachable and unsupportive. I feel unappreciated by the hard work I do. Internal transfers are impossible. Does not promote career advancement or cross training. Feels more provider orientated than business colleagues. Poor communication all around.

Pros

Currently, no pros. It used to be a great organization before the merger.

Cons

Constantly adds new projects or protocols without asking hospitalist feedback. Adds more demands on its hospitalists, but doesn't make our work flow easier. Likes to hire auxillary staff that again, adds more work to an already stressful day. No respect for the high-risk, high-volume work we already do.

Pros

The only reason to work at Sound is if you cannot find a job anywhere else. They are always hiring. (red flag)

Cons

They have no logical organization structure. This is because they do not give a crap about the physicians' experience. The entire chain of command is orchestrated to make big money, and put on a fake façade of being legitimate. They are very crooked. They have had Whistleblower lawsuits for patterns of upcoding insurances, yet they take hours and several computer classes to "train" you how to upcode. If you see a patient who is not complicated, and should be coded a 2, they will teach you how to turn an everyday visit into an extraordinary visit, and code it a level 3. You won't ever see a bonus unless you are coding level 3s. They start off getting your juices flowing by setting a reasonable RVU, then once everyone is on the team, they increase the amount of RVUs you need for a bonus, and they will increase the volume of patients you will see. Therefore, you now are working twice as hard for less money. You will be stuck too, because if you try to break the contract, you have to pay back malpractice tail and the signing bonus. That means you will not take home a paycheck the last month you are there, and likely not take a paycheck at your next job for a few weeks. The managers are a true joke. They are not a better doctor than you, they just are sleazy too. Some are sleeping with the higher level bosses. Some are just disgusting people with no soul, who laugh at the game you are a pawn in. They will never address any issues except to manipulate a problem into a solution that works for some pre-desired result they have already had in mind. If you have a psychopath on the team, he/she will be your problem to deal with, your manager will get a great laugh behind the scenes though! If the psychopath manipulates and lies to dump ER admissions onto you, the manager will just threaten to fire you if you refuse to take a patient. See, they do not care about how the organization is running, only about the stream of cash into their bank account.
