Business Outlook

Pros

Decent benefits, I guess you could say.

Cons

Profit is more important than patients; those who care are constantly fighting the corporate mandate to make money. Clinics are understaffed, people are underpaid. Management does not follow HR process to remove people; they ambush people with improper terminations, or just lay off people they don’t like. I was laid off, and my manager told my colleagues I would have been fired if not laid off—despite no disciplinary action during my tenure, no coaching, no indication that anyone was unhappy with my work. Hard work is not valued; political maneuvering is.
