Pros

Very efficient and well organized. Providers are made to stay up to date on best practices and new treatments. A lot of resources. Transparent about pay and benefits. As a part-timer the pay is competitive. I would definitely work here again.

Cons

Metrics and patient satisfaction scores are very important. It is a big corporation so you will not have much personal input. Metrics are squeezing top productivity out of employees.
