Pros
Pros: I did like the work schedule. You have to make a schedule with your clinic partner that you both agree on. Working with a nurse (RN/LVN) a plus and can make your day go a lot smoother. No direct management in office. I only saw my manager a handful of times a year, usually at meetings. You can work relatively close to home.
Cons
Working long hours during the week. If you didn’t have a nurse you might have a CNA- one of the worst ideas I’ve ever heard. Poorly trained or even basic trained CNAs are not meant to work in a clinic, and in my opinion a liability waiting to happen. Being harped on every teams meeting regarding numbers and you always need to do more. Give more flu shots, get more walk ins (even if 38 people on your schedule), maintain waiting room, manage rude people. Vacation time is pitiful and almost nonexistent. No separate PTO, no holiday pay if you don’t work the day. The NP/PA can be the one doing everything… ordering supplies, putting up supplies, cleaning. When are we supposed to do call backs, answer CRMs if there isn’t proper help or downtime? Clinics NEVER gets professionally cleaned. Waiting rooms floors disgusting and need a professional clean. You will work holidays and weekends. Left after over 5 years of service and my manager never offered a recognition of thanks or wish of good luck when I left. They only care about a body being in the chair! Very limited career advancement. If you can avoid this place, I would!
