Pros

Pay is decent There are no other pros The program is trying to make me write 20 words but there are no other pros!!!! None.

Cons

Have to do things that have nothing to do with being an NP (lots of admin duties) Constant oversight, limited scope of practice and chart reviews do not allow you to practice to the full extent of your education. I do not feel like I should have to explain to upper management "why" I gave someone an antibiotic. Patients are rude and demanding and do not respect you as a medical professional You work alone and can get bombarded with multiple patients at once and they are rude and impatient because they have to wait Have to do DOT physicals and almost none of the patients have their forms filled out prior to coming and the exams are extremely time consuming The company needs to provide the NP with HELP! There should be a person checking in the patients and a tech to help!!! It's unreasonable to expect the NP to do everything for the visit from start to finish! Health insurance plan is terrible with very high deductibles and high monthly premiums

Pros

I learned a lot working there as far as how to run a business as well as how to develop a team. I had one of the most successful teams in the company ranking as the top store year over year in two separate markets, one in the Northeast one in the Southeast. I was a paragon winner with the company as well. My most recent DM was very supportive. I genuinely thank them for the opportunity and the knowledge that I acquired while working with them.

Cons

Work hours were excessive. To be successful hours worked were borderline slavery. While I willingly worked them to be successful, the week you didn't you were immediately behind. Vacations were almost non existent due to constant visitors from corporate stopping in to do reviews. Holiday weeks were paid 4 days regular 1 holiday and you worked all 5. The facade of the stores looking great when these people stop by versus the reality of the business is polarizing. There were always teams of people and excessive expenditures of payroll thrown into stores prior to their visits. While I understood the need to make an appearance, it was always will always be a backwards way off thinking. Company preaches quality of life for their clients while quality of life for their employees is non-existent. As a "manager" in your average store you will be "managing" a total of one person during your shift, with a total of 10 people at location. Location open hours will exceed total payroll hours ie Sun-Sat 7am-10pm = 15hrs per day x 7 days x 2 people = 210 hrs which excludes the need to have a person unload deliveries that come in during non opened hours. Your budgeted hours will be approximately 208 hrs. I will only mention that during the month of December that there are extended hours for the stores but no budgeted hours to accommodate. Stores are held to strict shrink targets with little to no control over external theft. Remember 2 people at location, if four people enter to steal there is nothing you can do to stop them. These are facts not personal prejudices.
