Pros
Very professional colleagues who are supportive and available. Was nice to practice in an autonomous environment. Store staff supportive and empathetic. Very rewarding to develop relationships with clients who became regulars.
Cons
Company as a whole is retail-oriented instead of medically oriented. Numbers of clients seen is uppermost in culture, with number one emphasis being bringing in patients as opposed to providing quality care. When clinics become successful additiional support for the quantity of clients seen is not provided. Providers work in what is essentially a large closet and, if clinic is successful you work in this closet for hours with llittle opportunity to go to the bathroom, hydrate or just take a "time-out". Management is not acccessible or responsive. If you become ill - which is inevitable when you see large numbers of sick patients in a small "closet" management expects you to contact your own coverage or work while you are sick. Little to no opportunity to advance. While store staff is supportive they are not medical professionals.
