Pros
Health insurance is affordable compared to some employers
Cons
15 minute visit times when the covid/ flu tests take 15 minutes to even process. You work without a PCT many times. You have a 15 minute visit time. This is impossible to check someone in, verify their insurance, take their copay, get their vitals, do an HPI, run a 15 min covid test, take their entire health history, examine them, write a prescription, educate them, document all of this... all in 15 minutes. Absolutely ridiculous. Angry patients because of the long wait times. Nationwide PCP shortage has you seeing much more complex patients than what is appropriate for this setting. High turnover in patient care technicians and providers. Due to high turnover in providers, you will be called in on your on call days. This can have you working 6 out of 7 days of the week. Weekday hours are 8am-830pm. They expect you to be there 30 mins before the clinic opens and 1 hour after the clinic closes. (I hope you don't have a family, enjoy sleep, or have anything you enjoy outside of a stressful workday.) Long hours- 8am to 830pm during the week. With shortened visit times (now 15 mins), you will be there much later than 830pm trying to catch up on orders and charting. Terrible PTO- 11 hours accumulated per month. That is less than 5.5 hours every 2 weeks.
