Pros

Lots of patients so certainly will keep busy

Cons

- Typical corporate clinic prioritizing patient numbers over patient safety and physician wellness - review offer letter especially w/ a wide radius of non-compete restriction - make you work Saturdays for free - Orientation was a disaster & no one knew who I was when I arrived for my first day of clinic - the highest amount of staff callouts ever (every day multiple callouts leading to inadequate coverage on most days) - EXPONENTIAL turnover rate - onsite “leadership” is a joke & there have no consistent schedules (they pick & choose when to work from home or be in clinic, so you never knew who was there in any given day)

Pros

Difficult to say many positives, as most of the current field staff has either resigned or currently interviewing for other positions.

Cons

Office management, upper management within the company leave staff with unfulfilled promises, ineffective communication, lack of response to questions and concerns that staff members ask on a weekly basis. This office has such high turnover with obvious lack of concern by any of the higher ups within LHC group, Optum, Amedisys. These 3 companies are merging or UHC is purchasing- upper management is unable or unwilling to share exact plans which has been adding to overall anxiety, uncertainty within this office. As staff we continue to be told ‘just hang tight, things will get better’.
