Absolute Nightmare Corporate Hellscape
Pros
Very talented providers and support staff, the team on the ground was wonderful to work with. My base salary was also competitive.
Cons
As a provider you have absolutely zero control over your own schedule and are not given any autonomy. Middle and upper management are the ones who control every aspect of day-to-day clinic operations, even though they never work in the clinic. Management is not responsive to requests for support or suggestions from the employees who are actually working in the clinics everyday. Management pushes sales over patient care. Expectations are unrealistic, which leads to chaos because things end up not getting done or not getting done correctly. There would be repairs sitting in the lab for weeks before anyone had time to send it out. The first patient of the day is scheduled right when the work day begins (8:30am in my case) so there is zero time in the morning to open the clinic or get settled. Our team would often show up for work with a patient already waiting outside the door. There is this unspoken expectation to arrive early and stay late and work weekends. I was salary, but if I needed to leave an hour early to go to a DR appointment they would take an hour from my PTO. But if I stayed late, that counted for nothing. My base salary was competitive, but I made very little in commission. The worst part of it all was the gaslighting. Management would do ANYTHING but take responsibility for issues or do anything to address them. They would use manipulation tactics to twist the conversation back on me to make it seem like it was my fault.
