Pros

Autonomy Decent pay for new NP grads You do not get paid Holiday pay for Christmas Eve, New Years Eve Clinics are open 7 days a week

Cons

Weekends (short staffed constantly so your asked for more all the time). Terrible work/life balance Management constantly changing the way tedious clinic tasks are charted, which complicates the 14 different usernames and passwords the NP already has. Sub-contracted schedule = the NP is required to meet a certain number of weekend days, Mondays & Fridays even if you have the PTO (and someone you’ve never met is managing your schedule (ie,. Life) Floating to clinics 1 hour+ from home (even though your home clinic may be open, they float NP’s to the busier clinics which makes for terrible continuity of care MC is moving more towards a family practice setting so your basically running the clinic on your own in the back of a CVS (even though they will say “goal is to double staff”- they never will/can due to high turnover 8 day training- new grads on their own with no support (complex system and disgruntled patients who have no patience to wait) Patients make their own appointments from home (timing is off- so if NP goes to lunch a bit later -patients show up angry that you are required to take lunch) All services are timed according to what administrators deem appropriate-so if the NP has a complicated patient (or service) too bad. The computer will continue to let patients sign in late

Pros

I learned a lot working there as far as how to run a business as well as how to develop a team. I had one of the most successful teams in the company ranking as the top store year over year in two separate markets, one in the Northeast one in the Southeast. I was a paragon winner with the company as well. My most recent DM was very supportive. I genuinely thank them for the opportunity and the knowledge that I acquired while working with them.

Cons

Work hours were excessive. To be successful hours worked were borderline slavery. While I willingly worked them to be successful, the week you didn't you were immediately behind. Vacations were almost non existent due to constant visitors from corporate stopping in to do reviews. Holiday weeks were paid 4 days regular 1 holiday and you worked all 5. The facade of the stores looking great when these people stop by versus the reality of the business is polarizing. There were always teams of people and excessive expenditures of payroll thrown into stores prior to their visits. While I understood the need to make an appearance, it was always will always be a backwards way off thinking. Company preaches quality of life for their clients while quality of life for their employees is non-existent. As a "manager" in your average store you will be "managing" a total of one person during your shift, with a total of 10 people at location. Location open hours will exceed total payroll hours ie Sun-Sat 7am-10pm = 15hrs per day x 7 days x 2 people = 210 hrs which excludes the need to have a person unload deliveries that come in during non opened hours. Your budgeted hours will be approximately 208 hrs. I will only mention that during the month of December that there are extended hours for the stores but no budgeted hours to accommodate. Stores are held to strict shrink targets with little to no control over external theft. Remember 2 people at location, if four people enter to steal there is nothing you can do to stop them. These are facts not personal prejudices.
