US Anesthesia Partners reviews about "pto"

There is entirely too much favoritism in the Houston area. The only way for the Nurse Practitioner be successful is by winning the favor of the site chief. It’s extremely backwards in the context of the registered nurses are over the NP providers. The NPs are at the bottom of the hierarchy in terms of value. If you’re looking for a Mid level position that values nurse practitioners, keep moving forward because this is not it. The HR department is incredibly non helpful to us. They cater to the idea of the NPs are not necessarily needed. They just “ let go” of several of us a few months ago to cut costs while there are still people who are allowed to take advantage of time and resources because they have the favor of their site chief. Do not work here if you’re looking for a fair and supportive environment.

No cons in my experience so far.

Management favoritism, managers don’t really know how to manage people

Really depend on which team you are & how flexible is your boss.

The management of this company has gotten worse the bigger the company has gotten. Many mid-level managers and directors are so busy trying to take advantage of a growing company to climb the corporate ladder, that they no longer care about the staff that actually keep the company going.

-When it comes to upper management, especially directors, they rarely hire from inside the company (if at all). The outside hires usually have very little understanding as to what works and will often try to have command over their employees rather than working with them. -A lot of work is outsourced to India rather than hiring locally. -PTO does not roll over and is given "up front" meaning if you go over a certain amount before "earning" it you might get a talking to. And if you do that and are fired or quit, then they will deduct the balance from your last pay check. -If you are on the data entry side you will have times where you will have to work what is essentially mandatory overtime.

Staffing can be an issue at times as well as burnout

I can't think of a single downside to working for USAP!

Not as personal as being a hospital employee
