Pros

Start up primary care clinic within a busy semiconductor plant. Fabulous idea. Reminded me of daycare at work. Very progressive and worker/patient focused. Recruiters did an amazing job picking staff. Except for two failures, they were the best group I've ever worked with in a clinical setting. Good salary and benefits.

Cons

That said, the company itself is unable to maintain focus on the mission. It became very obvious profit was the point. Yeah, that's business. As a healthcare provider though, I have enough to do to keep abreast of health, wellness, disease, medications etc. Weekly meetings emails etc about billing and rare meetings about healthcare ended my stay after 8 months. Additionally, the most awkward and time consuming EMR, Primesuite, added ridiculous burden to patient visits. Not because of the patient data. This system can automate billing. In order to do that, EVERYTHING that affects billing had to be made a data point that could be manipulated. Nice idea in theory. In actuality, Takecare made no move to support staff to take those clickable items match the reality and workflow of a disease management standard or a patient visit. Hence all those meeting to go over billing "errors."

Pros

Can be a fun environment. All in whom your staff is. Operating photo was fun and building projects for the customers. Learning about pharmacy operations.

Cons

Work life balance and low pay for what is expected. Not having enough payroll to effectively run a store. My store ran FE on a 320 hour a week budget. That was barely enough to get buy and meet the expectations put out by the company. I was never able to keep a full leadership staff. When a leader called out, I had to stay. There were days I was called away from my own dinner table. SM's were forced to be in the pharmacy for more than half of their day regardless as to what is happening in the FE. I worked over 50 hours a week and barely got to spend time with my family. If I wasn't at the store I was getting a phone call and having to go back to the store.
