Pros

Under previous ownership (USMD), employees received quarterly raise. No meaningful pros remain under current leadership.

Cons

Widespread favoritism among management. Micromanagement of employees, including work performance and PTO usage. Management does not assist with phones or workload but takes extended breaks and time off during work hours. Lack of accountability for leadership compared to frontline staff. Poor morale and high stress due to inconsistent expectations. One annual raise, if given, is minimal and does not reflect workload or stress. Frequent layoffs without notice, often communicated through sudden meetings. Employees are openly told their jobs are not guaranteed and encouraged to apply elsewhere.

Pros

The only 2 things were Benefits and being able to work 4 days a week for 10 hours

Cons

overwork you, too many lay offs and they put you to do like 2 to 3 different jobs that were not hired for to help with gaps from lay offs. They make metrics way harder to make difficult to get any bonus
