Pros

As a physician it is a job that is clinically the easiest job you can ever do. It is so easy that even a trained nuclear radiologist can be hired to a NJ center as the center's medical director (where there is no nuclear radiology to be done and he only had a transitional family practice year before his radiology residency and nuclear radiology fellowship).

Cons

The biggest con is the lying to your face; saying that you would have a great home life/work life balance; yeah, right, they take patients up to closing time so if your hours are closing at 6 pm you could be there until 8 or 9 pm and work 9-12 hour days (and this is more the rule than exception at the center I was at). They don't have structured appointments for the follow ups, DOT physicals or preemployment physicals; so they walk in at any time, and most came after their work shift was over, creating a glut of patients showing up after 2-2:30 pm. With this the DOT physicals and preemployement physicals can wait 4-6 hours to be seen for a simple 4-5 minute examination. That is wrong as they don't care for the physicians time and definitely don't care about the patient's time. The patients do get impeccable care by me at the center I was in, as I am a well liked and trusted physician with lots of experience and over 30 years of experience. This is a micromanagement problem. Also, the center runs out of commonly durable medical goods frequently; things they dispense to the patients on their visits to the office.

Pros

Work from home Mon -Fri

Cons

Management prioritizes unrealistic production metrics over the quality of patient care and employee well-being. The caseload is incredibly high, often forcing you to handle over a hundred workers' compensation cases simultaneously. This volume is made worse by constant IT system lags and an inadequate network of orthopedic doctors, leaving you stuck between frustrated patients and unhelpful insurance adjusters. Management offers very little support, relying on micromanagement to hit numbers rather than addressing the root causes of burnout. The compensation is also too low for the immense level of stress and volume required.
