Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of ancillary staff. Plenty of vacation time (currently 5 weeks/yr). Very friendly atmosphere. The patient is always the most important part of decision making. Nobody hovers over my shoulder to not order something or not do something to save money.

Cons

A very big group, sometimes it can feel a little strange because new people come and go. A lot of change occurs so one has to be able to adapt. The expectations are high, work load during the time you are there is heavy.

Business Outlook

Pros

There were some good people that worked there. Other than that, absolutely no pros.

Cons

Terrible leadership, unethical management team, terrible compensation, terrible benefits. I would not send my worst enemy to work for this terrible company. I worked here for almost 3 years and only found a handful of decent people. No training. Minimal work-life balance.

Pros

Good pay, good benefits, although they may be decreasing after current negotiations.

Cons

Cold, uncaring organization. I felt totally replacable and inconsequential. Money does not buy job satisfaction.
