Pros
I have been working at Puget Sound Surgical Center full-time for a number of years now. For the most part I love my coworkers and as far as what we do for patients it couldn't be more rewarding. Helping people reach their goals whether surgically or non surgically is so rewarding and there is nothing like it! This practice is one of a kind really! As far as costs it appears to be cheaper in all disciplines than going anywhere else. Ie with cosmetics, orthopedics, Bariatrics, medical weight loss and sleep medicine!
Cons
Being one of kind means lots of uncharted territory to map out and being a multi disciplinary practice there is a lot of moving parts always. Very little stabilization the past few years. Not the pay I am seeking for me or my family but will have to do for now. Seems to be misplaced value with mediocrity being rewarded more often than not. Poor communication and no HR that anyone feels comfortable enough or is able to trust to do anything when push comes to shove (always sides with management despite the proof in the pudding).
