Pros

good control over schedule / patient population, can build it like a private practice

High volume and a minimum average of 32 face-to-face hours per week of completed visits to maintain benefits like health insurance. Taking PTO will decrease this average.

Pros

-Diverse hire of clinicians -Nice looking facility -Yearly survey for feedback -Patient's really get what they need when they can get access to care -The concept seems like it has potential, but even leadership has said that all departments are circling back to the basics due to not being able to when the company grew exponentially fast in little time.

Cons

-Low pay for workload -High turnover rate meaning increased workload for those who remain -Pay based on experience (which is fine) not completely accurate pertaining to others/new hires -Merit increase cut offs -Bonus structure -Minimum insurance benefits come with high deductible + high copays -Timely assistance for staff -Performative patient experience -Crisis protocols -Emergency protocols -No overtime -Not allowed to take unpaid time -Forced to use accrued PTO hours when there are internet issues if you cannot commute to another location when the closest office is 45-50 minutes away. -Performative warmth -Performative leadership -Dismissal on feedback/contributions -Emotionally taxing -Defensive responses from leadership
