Pros
Excellence in employed physicians. They have fortunately hired some of the best in Florida. This kept me motivated in continuing to manage over 30 physician practices in 8 years.
Cons
Poor administrative decisions. Nothing is as important as "making budget" and moving friends up the corporate latter. Decisions are not based on what is best for the organization or its employees. Managers are never recognized or appreciated for all that they do, yet are held accountable for bottom lines, though they have little under their control. It is expected that they have no personal and work life balance. Hard work, loyalty and dedication are overlooked. HR provides no support. Turn over is extremely high in the physician practice setting, from support staff, office managers, practice administrators, directors, HR, finance (in actuality in every position). Positions have been eliminated but the same role and expectations exist for a lower paying title.
