Pros

Typically a stable job, unfortunately Corona has resulted in layoffs and payouts. Everyone has been impacted by this.

Cons

Herd mentality, Corporate doesn't care about employees, Frist family covers everything up, Sam Hazen is a crook desperate for acceptance.

Not a Company you want to work for

Business Outlook

Pros

Insurance is great. People are friendly.

Cons

Several parts of the job are outside of the purview of AP responsibilities. Some of the supervisors are not knowledgeable. The work is like chasing your tail around in circles. You have to touch invoices several times before processing.

Great company, but loyalty to their employed physicians is not spectacular

Employed physician, hospital based

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary and benefits are just average but consistent with fair market value for specialty and region. Great hospitals. HCA has good inpatient quality initiatives. They are financially solid.

Cons

HCA is a financially robust company. However it is a for- profit healthcare company that will jettison an employed physician or physician group if a cheaper alternative is available. This has happened to emergency medicine, hospitalist, and intensivist groups in our HCA hospital over the past few years. For many of these physicians, non-compete restrictions in their employment agreements with HCA required them to either acquiesce to employment by a new entity that was chosen entirely by HCA without physician input or leave town to find a new job.
