A nice place to work.

CEO approval

Pros

They understand about family responsibilities and asking time off. There is good communication between management and staff and clearly delineated expectations. I don't get benefits being per diem so I am not one to ask about that. What I do know about the benefits that others get seem to be good. The morale of my facility is high, and there is a genuine care for patients and fellow workers.

Cons

I think you have to know someone to get ahead. Being per diem though, limits the amount of growth I can obtain. However, I have been up for a full time position and did not receive it. I am waiting to see if I get this second position that has come up.

HCA - a decent place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

stable company with a long track record, thus you know your job is secure. They do a lot of promoting from inside the company so if you work in administration you have a good chance of moving up. This point is not relavent to my position as a physician.

Cons

Very focused on the bottom line - money. Sometimes it feels like the employees are dispensable, because all that matters is that you work efficiently, see as many patients as you can, and bring in money. As a physician there is little chance of increasing your income because the bonus plan is structured so that it's difficult to achieve without short changing your patients.
