Pros

I've been here for a year and honestly, I have very few complaints. Reimbursement is good for the state in which I work (Ohio). Benefits are really solid (definitely rare even in big-box private practice) and you get a long-term incentive plan if you want to want to really hit the grind. My management team has been super flexible in allowing me to practice as I please; having been micromanaged in other positions, this is a nice change of pace. My colleagues are the bee's knees, super nice people and easy to get along with; by far the least toxic work environment I've been a part of since working in healthcare. When needed, clinical management is usually available for support. Never had any issue with my benefits or pay. Whenever I've needed to adjust my schedule, management has never had an issue and is very flexible to my needs.

Cons

No PTO, which doesn't bother me specifically, but can be a deal-breaker for some. If you're not going out of your way to meet your colleagues, you might feel isolated, since the practice is mostly made up of independent clinicians who need only minimal oversight. Full-time caseload requirements are higher than average (27 clients per week). I've heard office & management culture can vary wildly from office to office, so much of what I mentioned in the "pros" section may be dependent on which office/state you work in. No reimbursement available for continuing ed/professional development; this plus the lack of PTO can stymie professional growth regarding your capacity to expand your scope while working here.

Pros

Not very many pros. Maybe a pro to have an opportunity to speak your mind in surveys and town hall meetings. 401k was nice Remote work from home - Intake

Cons

You are expected to always be available for patients. Anything as simple as a break to take a breather is almost frowned upon. You could sit on the phone and be cursed at by a patient for 20-30 mins and get worked up, of course anybody would need to take a minute after that kind of call and believe me, they happen OFTEN because the necessary people in this company are never available or anywhere to be found. Management will be down your throat about where you are, why you’re not on the phone, how long you were gone, etc. It’s just a huge cycle of micromanagement and negativity. They expect you to function like a robot, no regard for the fact that you are a person too. They critique you on how you handle a call and tell you what you should have said instead. Well, how about they get on the phones then. Problem solved. The managers are never available when you need them. The front office is off the phones consistently so patients can’t get through and other departments cannot reach anyone They watch your EVERY move. Be careful not to be away from your desk for too long or off the phone for too long, it does come with consequences, apparently, Prepare to have no one give you an answer or help with an upset patients. You’re on your own. Managers do everything they can to avoid getting on the phone. There’s no way they have a “meeting” every hour of every day.

Unpaid trainings

Pros

Total control of your Schedule. Support staff are great.

Cons

Trainings and meetings are unpaid. Questionable manipulation of scheduling statistics. Minimal compensation to cancellations. You do all of the leg work, but only see 15% of the self pay rates, and 35-40% of the insurance compensation. The rest of that supports the stock holders. The advance is a form of entrapment to force you to stay to pay it back.
