    Over worked and under paid

    Mar 16, 2023 - Claims Resolution Specialist in Fort Myers, FL
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Co-workers, remote position, PTO, flex schedule when permitted

    Cons

    Organization has consolidated positions so there is no longer room to promote within. Micromanagement, inexperienced managers that are constantly needing to be trained by their staff. Constantly changing directives that are not beneficial for the employees, outsourcing of departments with outside vendors. Employees attempt to adhere to the job description but due to constraints set by management, employees are being set up to fail. Not flexible when asking for reduction of hours to have a better work/ home balance. Wage is not comparable to other organizations within the same industry. Under paid and over worked. Employees are audited based on written SOPs set by the organization but each manager pushes their own directive causing confusion. Unattainable metrics, poor management, power struggle and lack of communication between managers.

    Too many chiefs

    Jan 17, 2023 - Medical Assistant in Tampa, FL
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Taking care of the patients. They do become part of your work family. Lunches

    Cons

    There are so many administrators and management. The managers have managers, they have so many people in supervisory roles 'checking' behind everyone, Example: lab monitor will look after lab staff, and go over monthly lab paperwork and sign off on it. Then that lab monitors paperwork that he signed off on, has be to checked by someone else also. This is across the board in each dept, front desk, lab, MA, nurses. On the flip side, they resist in hiring enough front line staff for all departments. It is always busy, busy!! On top of the front line staff doing constant running to maintain patient flow, there are endless reports that each dept must run that are extremely time consuming. They don't give you enough time in the day to get everything completed but frown on overtime. Also, FCS is famous for designing limited work spaces to grow into. Maybe this is intentional. (can't hire more staff, there's no where to put them -mentality)

    Pros

    Large, stable company that is a part of an industry that will never downsize. Work schedules are pretty standard, yet there are mandatory overtime’s and early days around holidays when there are no physicians in office.

    Cons

    Corporation run by Physicians, and not actual management. This means that if a Doctor wants to leave early, then all treatments must be rescheduled, altered, or “sped up” to accommodate the Doctor and not the patient safety or need to complete treatments on a set schedule.

Company News
Tour our state-of-the-art pathology laboratory in Fort Myers, FL, with next-generation sequencing (NGS) capabilities — testing available to patients throughout our clinics statewide! NGS allows Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute (FCS) pathologists to detect mutations in hundreds of different genes simultaneously, giving a more unique understanding of each patient's individual diagnosis. Doing so produces information to personalize a patient's therapy — increasing cure rates and extending lives. When oncologists know the specific genetic alteration a patient has, there may be a therapy that actually targets that exact mutation, as well as ongoing clinical trials the patient would be eligible for based on their molecular profile. FCS continues to expand our robust in-house testing capabilities so that we can provide our patients with fast and accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, which leads to more positive outcomes. We are proud of the innovative and robust genetic screening, counseling and testing capabilities available for our patients.
