Pros
I hate to say that there are not too many pros or incentives for me to stay which is why I'm beginning my search elsewhere. Work/life balance is great because I am hourly and my day finishes at 5. I cannot say the same for the salaried folks. Every Monday morning I come in to an inbox full of messages from TH employees working their weekends. It would be understandable if it were for a special project or deadline, which may require a salaried employee to work late or on weekends. This is a regular occurrence. The pay was decent a few years ago, but the very small 25 -30 cent annual increase (not guaranteed even if you have a glowing performance review) is not enough to cover the cost of living increase. Not to mention the increase in benefit premiums and the reduced 401k match. If you desperately need a job, it's OK- especially if you're hourly and can leave by 5. You have to use your 15 days of PTO as sick time too unless you're out for 4 days or greater. People often come to work sick. If you can spend a little longer in your job search, take the time to find something better. TeamHealth offers paid holidays which is great!
Cons
There are too many managers working in the same arena and they all have different opinions (and ALL of them want the final say). The employees (non management) often get caught in the middle of arguments and end up completing the same project several times until management decides what to agree upon. So much (re)work and time spent for very little return. Disagreements between these leaders seem so petty as they put each other on blast in e-mail and person for employees to awkwardly witness. We're all adults, let's switch the focus from "pointing the finger" to who may have made a mistake and instead work collaboratively with each other to find a solution. :) When an employee is laid off, their work load gets dropped on someone else's desk to permanently absorb. This sometimes happens when someone gets a promotion too. It wouldn't be as bad if we were offered a salary increase or bonus for taking it on. Leadership says we are in good shape as a company, but we hear more about budget cuts than anything else. The latest cut to the already poor 401k match has us all frustrated, but even more so concerned about the direction of the company. It's especially concerning when we hear that large corporations across the country are giving their employees bonuses, increases, etc because of the new tax reform with Trump's administration. In the four years I have been here, I can't even count how many times processes have been changed and then gone back to the original process, and then changed again. It would appear (at least from the outside) that leadership creates these process changes without consulting the individuals who actually work the process.
