Pros

stable company with a long track record, thus you know your job is secure. They do a lot of promoting from inside the company so if you work in administration you have a good chance of moving up. This point is not relavent to my position as a physician.

Cons

Very focused on the bottom line - money. Sometimes it feels like the employees are dispensable, because all that matters is that you work efficiently, see as many patients as you can, and bring in money. As a physician there is little chance of increasing your income because the bonus plan is structured so that it's difficult to achieve without short changing your patients.

Pros

Pay is competitive; plenty of jobs within the company with their facilities being numerous and widespread

Cons

Incompetent management; ever-increasing burden on employees by placing more and more responsibility on them over time with little or no increased pay, spreading them way too thin; bottom line is priority one, even at the expense of the quality of their healthcare; preference to keep employee morale low and anxious, consistently fearing possible layoffs or firings, as to keep everyone more willing to accept subpar treatment; no personability between management and employees, i.e., no birthday celebrations, no dinners, little to no employee functions outside of the workday, no notices when people are fired or retire unless they're in good with management, etc.

Pros

Everyone at this particular facility is genuinely interested in providing quality patient care. There is a great sense of community. They offer the flexibility that I need to balance family and career. I love it here.

Cons

I have found that there is a need for better communication to new staff members. I have been at this facility for over a year and feel that I still do not know the ins and outs of policy and procedure, obtaining education and the steps to further my advancement in the job. There are two many computer software programs to master.
