I held multiple positions at AU and none of them give me any of the things I mentioned in the headline. If you don't smile and nod your head, you won't get the respect of upper management. Leadership is completely lacking. No one actually cares about your career path with AU. As a matter of fact, the retention rate is close to none. People quit left and right and at one point there were literally no MAs at one of our locations. They're on a "good ol' boy" system so unless you are super chummy with management, you aren't going anywhere. Hard work is never rewarded. Sometimes you'd get a 3% merit raise. Reviews are a complete joke. Don't bother praising yourself since it's company policy to only give you 3's across the board. You can't trust anyone you work with. People will not hesitate to throw you under the bus. They like to kill you with work, make you dive all over the city so you have zero work life balance. There were only a few people I enjoyed working with during my time there and almost every one of them have left... even C-suite levels have quit. Some (not all) of the MDs are complete jerks and deliver terrible patient care. They scream at you if you make a small mistake. Most of the women in upper management don't have a clue as to what they're doing which is why the clinics have been understaffed for close to two years. They used to do free lunches but stopped that when they went corporate. This place was great to work when it was small but the larger they get the worse they become. Even the insurance used to be great. The policy they provide now is absolutely awful. It doesn't cover much of anything. 

The is company is so mismanaged and so unorganized. If you look at the reviews that are 5 star those come from the corporate leaders of the company opposed to real employees. Opposed to promoting qualified people this company promotes friends. There are more than enough nurses that have expirence in running a clinic but they choose not to utilize them properly. This is a reflection of the non existing HR Department. Instead of having a qualified HR Department there is a "People" Department. That in and of itself sounds how the company is operating. The decisions that are made by this company appear desperate opposed to thought out conscious planned decisions. The employees suffer the most at the hands of poor leadership. The best advice would be to stay away from this company until there is a change in leadership and mangement. Not to mention positions are given without being posted. If you have input it's best to keep it to yourself, if its a good idea the managers will take it for their own. If its constructive the manages take it in a negative light. The communication is horrible, everything is last minute. They have a saying of "That's the AU Way" which is left for interpretation of: no communication, ill advice from managers, horrible leadership, shady and misleading, no promotion or raises, who can kiss up the most, over working employees and you give your all but do not expect anything good in return from AU not to mention the "People" Department has no problem reminding employees it's an at will state. So if you like the above then this is the job for you.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working here is the supportive team environment and the strong organization of the workflow. Most of the providers are very kind and approachable, which makes a big difference in daily operations. The two-week training program is excellent, and Ms. Deb is truly outstanding — she makes the onboarding experience smooth, welcoming, and effective.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part can sometimes be the fast-paced environment and high patient volume, especially during peak hours. However, with good teamwork and organization, it becomes manageable and a great opportunity to grow under pressure.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is generally professional and structured. However, I believe there is room for improvement in how mental health concerns and employee call-outs are handled. Greater consistency, empathy, and communication from leadership would further strengthen the culture and employee well-being.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day is fast-paced and patient-focused. We manage a high volume of cases while maintaining efficiency, teamwork, and quality care throughout the shift.

Working at Advanced Urology was a truly rewarding experience. The management team was exceptional, always leading by example and ensuring that employees at all levels felt supported and valued. Communication between higher-ups and staff on the ground was consistent and transparent, creating a culture of trust and collaboration.

There were ample opportunities for promotion within the company, which kept me motivated and allowed me to grow in my career. The pay was competitive, and the benefits were stellar, including health coverage and other perks that truly made a difference. One of the highlights was the frequent free lunches provided by drug reps, which added a nice touch of appreciation.

Overall, Advanced Urology was a place where hard work was recognized, and employees were encouraged to thrive. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a positive work environment with opportunities for growth. I would recommend this organization to absolutely everyone and I wish them so much continued success in their future endeavors. 

AU & AG are engaging and friendly environment to work in.  Teamwork is a high priority and all members pitch in to get a job completed.  Leadership is visible and participates in helping with front-line duties when the need arises. The providers are respectful of you and positively acknowledge your role in helping our patients....from departments behind the scenes such as coding and billing to front-line members providing hands-on care.     In addition to patient satisfaction, Leadership is concerned with team member satisfaction.  Your voice is heard here and you're encouraged to use it to make AU and AG a better place for patients and your work family.   
Hardest part:  Although floating to other clinics provides the opportunity to get to know others in the company, it can cause stress with the unpredictability that comes from floating once it becomes the norm rather than the exception.   Also, having the site managers schedule their own site staff would be better than having off site people to schedule staff in the clinics and ASC.  
Best part:  Knowing that I have a place to work in an encouraging environment that I enjoy until I retire.... STABILITY.

The good thing is before having to leave this company due to the illness of my brother; AU was a fun place to work at. First time having been in the Urology field of medicine has taught me a lot about the renal system. The person who trained me was patient and funny until I started getting better then her. Another good thing about working for AU was their HR department; the young lady there helped me and was a good listener when it came time for me to talk. Overall she got me the assistance to help with what I was going through. And everything was kept confidentially.
The bad thing was the jealousy, so lack of more education was shunned from me, but I'm not one who takes no for an answer. I sought assistance from another former employee. 

A typical day at work was enjoyable. I learned a lot about Urological issues & solutions to those issues. Management overseeing ultrasound was okay & my only dislike regarding the company. Workplace culture was very good. The hardest part of the job was the occasional unrealistic expectations put on the sonographer's regarding patient care & management overdoing it in discussing, disciplining, or correcting concerns. Issues could have been handled differently & a lot better in my opinion. The most enjoyable parts of the job were that it provided a good working environment overall & also provided a good work / life balance, the pay was pretty good for the area, lunch was catered daily for the employee's, which was amazing, & the doctors were very professional, kind, knowledgeable, cared about their employee's, etc.

The company is very disorganized and it is mainly from inexperienced persons in unqualified positions. Managers/supervisors need leadership skills and interpersonal skills training. Too much favoritism. Rules changes daily. Chain of command is horrible and embarrassing. Poor and extreme delay with patient care. Job is very stressful because of unsatisfied patients and daily rules changes. Pay is ok, based off experience. High turnover rate, with people quitting. I only been here a few months and it's been a nightmare sense. I'm looking for work elsewhere but in the meantime I have to make it work until I find some better.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The staff and doctors were very helpful, friendly, and respectful. I have never met and ate lunch with the CEO of a company before but I did here!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There really wasn’t any but I guess the pay wasn’t as high as needed to be.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment was more like a big family working together. They treated everyone with respect and helped each other at all times.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
From the moment I walked through the door until I leave, I’m enjoying myself either with the staff or the patients. The patients were very friendly and thankful and appreciated all of our hard work.
