Pros

Tighy knitt family-like environment depending on what location you work at. Okay benefits, nice holiday schedule, good amount of PTO, management is pretty good at accommodating requests

Cons

No room for advancement at the clinic level unless you know someone really well even if you are qualified. Company is not culturally diverse at all. Company hires mainly Hispanic staff.Not a professional environment, focused more on the patients than on staff. Pay scales are completely wrong! Practically everyone is at the starting point or just above it even if they've been there for many years. Don't know anyone that is at the midpoint or the max salary for any pay grade except maybe the execs.

Pros

Great health and dental insurance, and lots of opportunities to train. Good coworkers to lean on.

Cons

There are rarely any opportunities for part time positions, so most people end up stuck and aren't able to attend school full time unless they quit. A lot of favoritism and nepotism. If you bring up genuine concerns to management, they'll just spit out corporate policies instead of working on actual solutions to help employees and patients alike. Several employees have left due to burnout but management shames them for not being able to handle the huge workload.
