Pros

Decent compensation and benefits package

Cons

Employment with MC is the epitome of a corporate America job. Scheduling requires you to work every other weekend and take additional weekend on call days. Employee concerns are met with indifference or even retribution from managers. On the corporate and regional level, significant rule changes regarding scheduling requirements and PTO requests change almost monthly and typically without warning or regard for how this affects employee needs such as procuring childcare or quality of life. Recently, a "clinic care team" model was adapted for each clinic. This requires 2 employees to cover the 7 days a week each clinic is open without utilizing any floats. If your partner takes time off, you're working it for them! Additionally, you must do this without going into overtime, which makes anyone taking more than a couple days off in a single week impossible. What's more is that if you're the vacationer, upon your return, you have to pick up enough of your partner's hours to prevent the going into overtime. By the time you've covered this, if you were to log your on PTO, you yourself would be in overtime, so you can't. Effectively, this model prevent you from taking all but rare days of true PTO.

Pros

Lots of locations, stability, great benefits & pay. Good customer service.

Cons

Computer system freezes too often, electronic images of hard copies glitch out. Constantly working with a skeleton crew. You don't get compensated for meetings and don't even get me started on the metrics & micromanaging. I thought I received my Doctor of Pharmacy degree to actually provide patient care not to be measured on how many patients I can sign up for ready fill and call to remind them daily to come get their meds.

Pros

Pays well Low stress if you don't get into the work politics At the end of the day, you are finished when you leave Can work minimum of 30 hrs/week and be full time The only JCAHO accredited retail health setting in the area. Upper management (not at the state level- more corporate) has a great vision for the future.

Cons

Poor management in the KCMO market- managers with no experience or training as managers, or for that matter , very little experience as NPs really; they are lazy and provide very little support to the providers, which is supposed to be one of the main functions of this position Won't be practicing to the full extent of the NP scope. Holidays and weekends There's not a lot of career growth opportunities unless there happens to be a management position that opens up. The health insurance is not very good compared to what you can get working in some of the local health systems (minus HCA- theirs is worse).
