Pros

Start up primary care clinic within a busy semiconductor plant. Fabulous idea. Reminded me of daycare at work. Very progressive and worker/patient focused. Recruiters did an amazing job picking staff. Except for two failures, they were the best group I've ever worked with in a clinical setting. Good salary and benefits.

Cons

That said, the company itself is unable to maintain focus on the mission. It became very obvious profit was the point. Yeah, that's business. As a healthcare provider though, I have enough to do to keep abreast of health, wellness, disease, medications etc. Weekly meetings emails etc about billing and rare meetings about healthcare ended my stay after 8 months. Additionally, the most awkward and time consuming EMR, Primesuite, added ridiculous burden to patient visits. Not because of the patient data. This system can automate billing. In order to do that, EVERYTHING that affects billing had to be made a data point that could be manipulated. Nice idea in theory. In actuality, Takecare made no move to support staff to take those clickable items match the reality and workflow of a disease management standard or a patient visit. Hence all those meeting to go over billing "errors."

Pros

Gave me decent pay. Bought us little gifts and food at holidays.

Cons

Gave away one of my paychecks to another employee and refused to reimburse me because of issues with "their bank." My RxM created a hostile work environment showing clear favoritism for employees. Eventually, HR got involved, and I was no longer scheduled with him. I did not ask for this change, and actively resented it, because now I had fewer hours, meaning less pay on top of the $500 corporate had already stolen from me. They had no interest in training me or anyone else to become certified as promised. Over and over again, they hired people, ran out the time on their licenses, and let techs choose between paying to get certified elsewhere, or losing their jobs. The only thing Walgreens was passionate about was convincing patients that they couldn't even provide their regular medications to get vaccines. Often unneeded. The "patient care" calls are blatant and illegal marketing for vaccines, since Walgreens makes it next to impossible for a patient to opt out of it. I would NEVER get my medications here after seeing how poorly everything is managed, how unethical company policies and patient health were regarded, and how mistreated the staff were.
