Hi there. First, let me say how much I appreciate your commitment and longevity with our team. You are no doubt part of the "great people" we have on board, and we couldn't do this without you. I'm glad, too, to know you feel autonomous in your role; we believe in bringing on people who have the motivation and drive to do what you do. On the fluctuating workload, I hear you. While it's the nature of our business, it definitely requires a sturdy mindset. And while the past few years have seen many changes and challenges in our industry, I’m optimistic things are trending in the right direction and that because of our people, we’ll see ourselves through those challenges. Thanks for all you bring, day to day. — Carl Simmons, Senior Vice President, Clinical Recruiting

Pros

I enjoyed working with some supportive coworkers and I appreciated the remote aspect of the job.

Cons

I can’t begin to express how much changed during my time at Sound. I had a new manager every year I was there and expectations for the role changed along with each manager. As other reviews have mentioned, the executive team also changed. They love to say that Jeff is helping the company financially and while that may be true, it didn’t reflect in bonuses or salary and I didn’t notice any real positive changes in our day to day. Additionally, workflows and even entire brand identities changed with the seasons, which made sense given the constant staff turnover. I wish my time here had been more pleasant.

Thanks for your thoughtful review. Indeed, there's been change across the organization as we work to become an even better medical group, both nationally and at the local level. We've weathered our share of change in marketing, too, as we're building a team best able to meet our organization's needs. It's my goal to ensure our team feels supported and engaged, even through ongoing change, and I encourage our people to share openly on how we can do and be better. I'm grateful for the time you spent with us and appreciate your contributions – including your feedback here. — Anni Lange, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Communication

Pros

Work autonomously no micromanaging. 7 days on /7 days off schedule. RVU bonuses but pay often incorrect. CME reimbursement offered but often denied after being submitted due to "no budget".

Cons

Poor/ no support by upper management. Always understaffed and asked to see extra patients. Some APP see up to 29 patients as an acute care hospitalist. Pay significantly under market with high patient loads. APPs only paid for 10 hr day but carry same patient load as MDs who are paid for 12 hr.

Hello and thanks for sharing your honest thoughts here. First, thank you for your time with Sound and I wish you all the best in wherever your career has taken you next. I'm glad to hear you felt you were able to work autonomously with us. I'm disheartened, however, to hear that you felt unsupported and overworked in many ways. This isn't the experience we want our clinicians to have. I'd welcome a deeper conversation about your time with us – you can reach out to me at belong@soundphysicians.com. — April Burke, Vice President, Advanced Practice Providers
