Pros
A bi-weekly paycheck that covers the bills. Can put a director title on my resume.
Kontras
This was hands-down the worst experience of my work life. The orange book values exist only in theory. They will promise you everything and keep nothing. They will work you to death and will not support you whatsoever. The clinics are chronically understaffed and run on unrealistic efficiency metrics that do not take the phones into account - you'll need one person to just answer the phone. You will not get any meaningful training and will be thrown into the cold water from day one. Lousy wages for MAs which affect the quality of personnel the clinics get to begin with. Insane turnover rates which leave clinic management working in the trenches doing MA and front desk duties, in addition to their own duties. Long days that will go unnoticed and unappreciated by area directors. Phones ring off the hook while you see 120+ patients a day. If I could turn back time, I'd skip this.
