Pros

Excellent hospital locations, some great support staff, wonderful online resources, easy billing system (although sometimes a bit slow and limited function on mobile devices).

Cons

Difficult to understand rationale for classifying workers as 1099 when all aspects of work are fully controlled by TH including when to work, where to work, how to work, number of hours expected to work (full time), etc, especially when all your expenses are paid for by Team Health except their responsibility to pay for your benefits and their portion of taxes. When I inquired why hospitalists on the west coast were classified as independent contractors as opposed to physicians on the east coast who are employees (in the context of multiple payroll errors and not receiving my full paycheck in a timely manner), I was suspiciously terminated without cause (allegedly due to the way I handled the payroll repayment). Regardless, I will never be satisfied with a company who has no remorse for not rectifying a payroll error in a timely manner.

Pros

I’ve had a very positive experience working at TeamHealth. The organization truly prioritizes both its patients and its employees, which creates a strong sense of purpose in the work we do every day. One of the standout aspects is the collaborative and supportive culture. Leadership is approachable, communicative, and invested in helping teams succeed. There’s a genuine focus on continuous improvement, and employees are encouraged to share ideas and be part of driving change. TeamHealth also offers strong opportunities for growth and development. Whether it’s through formal programs or on-the-job learning, there’s a clear commitment to helping employees advance their careers. The company does a great job recognizing contributions and fostering a sense of belonging across teams. Pros: Supportive and engaged leadership Collaborative, team-oriented culture Opportunities for career growth and development Meaningful work that impacts patient care

Cons

Like many growing organizations, processes can evolve quickly, which requires adaptability

Pros

WFH and work life balance, occasional slow moments that help with the huge workload

Cons

Not a livable wage, preaches about their amazing profits but won’t raise the pay, upper mgmt constantly adds more work to the load and makes the day to day almost impossible to complete. Extra projects are a constant. Can’t get the systems to work together. Doesn’t do any primary source verification, any background check or drug screen for clinicians. We don’t know who we’re hiring. Nor do we care as long as we’re making money,
