Pros

Having corporate support in billing, human resources, and payroll, makes an office manager have a few less "to-do" items. With having several local offices in each state supporting you is very helpful as far as staffing and borrowing of supplies.

Cons

Having several people to answer to above you is difficult at times. Waiting for responses from upper management on issues is frustrating at times. Pay is not what it should be. Most offices are understaffed or overstaffed at all times. Raises and advances in job positions are few and fair between. Once your have been here for so long, there is no where to move up in the company. Bonus pay is unfair for employees and managers, almost always disappointed.

Pros

Work from home provided flexibility, eliminated commuting time, and reduced daily expenses. Steady, predictable workload with clear procedures and expectations. Regular exposure to healthcare operations improved familiarity with insurance verification, scheduling, and patient communication. Developed strong customer service skills, especially de-escalation, empathy, and clear explanation of complex information. Consistent hours and structure supported routine and reliability.

Cons

High call volume and back-to-back interactions could be mentally draining. Strict metrics and performance monitoring. Repetitive nature of calls offered little variety or creative problem-solving. Emotional labor was significant when handling frustrated or anxious patients. Career advancement opportunities within the role itself were limited.

Pros

Dental coverage is good. They definitely take care of your smile. However it has to be within their clinics. If you need a speciality provider for let’s say extractions- good luck. You’ll be going outside and paying full out of pocket

Cons

Extremely disorganized, zero communication from upper management unless they need something from you, no guidance, policies are lacking to help you navigate through a system. Messy messy messy. Did I mention terrible communication? Pay is very low. Benefits: Health insurance is terrible. They almost cut your HSA match in half. They do not match your 401k Short/long term disability is out of YOUR pocket. PTO? Good luck. Very little offered, and it doesn’t grow much while you put your years in. Most staff have to use it towards holidays. You will be overworked.
