Pros

Mandatory annual training and elective training offered to all employees. PSR's & MA's have the opportunity to move up as a coordinator, supervisor, manager, director, analyst, etc. Strong, reliable and dependable relationships are formed between managers (north & south). The culture at SPMF is to empower the staff to speak up about safety or any improvement opportunities. Invitations to join committees. Reimbursement for mileage, parking, food. Employees earn (bi-weekly) 8 hr of PTO and after 1 yr increased to 9.54 hr/80hrs wrk'd. The growth of the company provided a lot of new experiences and knowledge.

Cons

Managers are underpaid. MA's & CC Coordinator pay rate surpassed my own, leadership and HR said I was paid accordingly. I had no one on my side except the doctors I worked for. Not every care center has a supervisor and manager. Managers are expected to do it ALL It's hard to feel valued Leadership does not care if manager is overwhelmed DES board must be up to their standard otherwise the VP will chew you out.

Advice to Management

Fair pay all clinics should have a manager, supervisor, coordinator and lead MA's. Management should have or have an office. Work on transparency
