Pros

*Good people below the Director level *Nice Building and Cafeteria *Good work/life balance for most *Great management and legal team to protect the interests of Stockholders at the expense of Teammates and Patients *Lots of cash to buy back stock to prop up the price in the short run

Cons

*Insular, out of touch, command and control IT Leadership *Infatuated with Vanity Metrics and how great the Village is despite evidence to the contrary *Refuse to let you speak at conferences or otherwise build your professional brand *Only promote people who tow the company line and won't challenge the status quo *Laying off Senior people and replacing them with cheaper, less experienced hires to cut expenses *Poor pay, mediocre benefits * Hit w/ $300-500M settlements routinely the past few years from the Government, Patients and their own Teammates for unethical and illegal practices *Revenue Model is failing (they lose money on 80% of their patients) and American Kidney Fund cash cow to funnel Medicare/caid patients to lucrative private insurance is under attack as a questionable practice.

Pros

Depending on location and your clinic, leadership team is incredibly supportive, which keeps the day-to-day work environment relatively stress-free. Having the independence to manage your own scheduling also allows for an excellent work-life balance.

Cons

The initial onboarding and training programs are highly disorganized and lack substance. Additionally, standard pay raises are quite low and do not feel competitive relative to the workload and current market value.
