first, there is way too much drama and bullying that management lets go on for it to be a place of business. the job itself is very easy, but a lot of mandatory overtime is required...that is if you aren't tenured enough to just tell management you aren't going to work the overtime. very poor sense of teamwork, even though the whole job is based on how well everyone works together and with other departments. management doesn't know which way is up. on average 4 out of 5 questions i would ask someone in authority a question their response would be something along the lines of "i'm not sure, i wish i knew" or i was simply given a shoulder shrug. saying there is opportunity for advancement is a joke, at least for newer employees. it's all just a popularity contest with no real work goals. you are "rewarded" with doing others' work because they simply don't feel like it. meaning, i would complete my centers or hit our daily patient goal and then have to work just as hard, if not harder, on other "teammates" work because they are too busy online shopping or taking personal phone calls. not everyone is held to the same standards. there is a goal of 175 patients daily...yet more than one "team member" can only produce 100 or less patients and that is just fine, even while others exceed the 175 patient goal. the most enjoyable part of the day was clocking out to go home. i hate to leave such a forward review of the company, but they seem to have mastered tricking people into thinking it's a good place to work and grow professionally. i would need a third hand to count the people that have quit in the last couple months due to the issues there. i hope in the future amsurg can be a respectable place of business.

This office environment is very "cliquey". The management team is very strict in relation to not being able to take personal calls or having to tend to family situations. You are allowed to do these things but they are very strict about keeping it minimal and even when minimal it's frowned upon. There is an excessive amount of error in the billing process due to employee error and technical error. This has not improved over the past year I have been here and does not appear to be a concern for the management team. Management tends to be more focused on the "micromanagement" of it's employees behavior rather than the quality of the work that is being executed. The turnover here is through the roof. Some employees quit within a week of their start date. There are no set guidelines, manuals or standards written anywhere as to how to perform the job itself which leads to inconsistency in how each account we work is by each employee. The pay, benefits and PTO are average. Annual raises are given with no cap at a rate of 3-5% yearly based on performance, they do promote from within. This is a large company and the company overall seems like a great place. I however work in the satellite billing office and it seems this office does not set the same standards as the corporate office. The corporate office appears to function at a much higher standard and the employees there seem much more professional than what is reflected here at the Central Billing office.

No room for advancement, wasted talent and HIGH turnover. Mgmt is clueless to the people that make the business happen. Little pay for the work expected. In my more than 2 years they went through 13 people in my department (people with great skills, passion and thirst for the game!) C suite department leader cares about making money and seems to be semi interesting in understanding the service desks frustrations, holds ups and working towards its betterment. Sys Admin level issues were pawned off to the service desk like we were getting compensated accordingly (not the case!) Mgmt again favors only select individuals (because its like 2 people and HR is reluctant to do anything) and for no reason at all you'll get stuck just answering phone calls while your like colleges will be relaxing in the lunch room, assisting with meetings, installing new PCs, inventorying equipment or by all accounts "doing something more important" all because you spoke your mind your are different than the average "yes sir ill jump this high" corporate employee.. PTO is nice, benefits rock and you can sleep in the wellness clinic if your trying to get away for 30 minutes. They used to have great quarterly meetings where they would talk about the companies progression, highlight outstanding employees, ways to contribute back to the community all with the CEO and they had free food after! B U T that stopped. To sum it up, Meh. : /

Was put under a new manager that had never had subordinates before; I think the experiment generally failed. Instruction was great at first, but help waned quickly. By the six month mark I was expected to know how to do everything after a single demonstration; asking for ten minutes of help resulted in being told - functionally - that I should be fully independent and should not even consider leaning on what I was told was a support network. Left shortly thereafter. 

Pay was good, and I don't think that my experience was indicative of the larger culture at Amsurg, but I have to question it a bit. Also, REALLY did not feel comfortable with my name being associated with some of the financial decisions that were being made with two of my centers, and - as with certain other companies - you are expected to functionally work overtime to get your work done ahead of time before taking PTO, which - IMHO - defeats the purpose of PTO.

Also the "quarterly" bonuses for retention come out unevenly throughout the year. I received one partial bonus when I should have received two. 

Salary is pitiful. Management company is said to be “ “consultants” but they are not. They “strong arm” the partners,Center Administrator and D.O.N.  A blind eye is turned when issues are presented and “thats’s YOUR job” is the answer when critical issues are presented, rather than, “ let me assist you.” Some decisions are made at times, WITHOUT the knowledge of some partners; when it’s convenient for them, and when they DO NOT want to deal with something, it’s “ we have to present this to the partners” You are EXPECTED to fill in on the floor AND remain current in Administrative work ( outside, VERY OUTSIDE, of what one would normally expect, in this role. I could go on and on. Quite a shame because you do see potential but, there is NO AUTONOMY for you here. Very sad for what could be with cooperation, additional essential staffing needs and TRUE competitive salaries that should not have to be fought for. Even some physician partners will tell you, “no one, who takes this position  has a chance to succeed.” A true shame.

Management takes advantage of hardworking employees. Burn out happens here. They will take advantage of you by paying way below market for your job description and bully you into thinking you can never find another job. Great place to gain knowledge and experience if you can manage to live through 65-80 hour work weeks. They will make you feel as if your job is on the line if you don’t work overtime. Also they allow their team leads and managers to bully and talk bad about their staff. Toxic environment. The job itself is great. If the management improved and the pay increased it would be an awesome job! Burn out and overtime would be less if turn over rate was lower. Employees would stay if it wasn’t so toxic. Con they work you to the bone and you can only use pto the second and third week of every month first week and last week is blockout no time off approved and even then they allow your pto they will make you feel bad for taking it. Your work will not be done when you return from vacation. Your team doesn’t help even though they preach teamwork. 

 Pro the benefits package is great. 

you come in get your coding sheets for your facility. Enter your information. Your are not allowed any errors You must bill all your facilities daily. You have a team lead that do whatever. The supervisor does not say anything to the team lead. The supervisor does not know the Billing functions, she depends on the team lead. The team lead does not ask you what you are doing. She is a bully. and do not know how to address people. The team lead attitude is that she knows everything. The team lead assumes a lot things, quick to judge you, enjoy making the environment hostile and not a pleasant place to work. The team lead has the director blessing. The manager and supervisor agree with whatever. No one is going to say anything because they all need their jobs. The most enjoyable part of the job is leaving for the day. The work is not hard, just very detailed on Antiqued computer software The company will not invest in better computer software. So your system are down a lot .

Amsurg buys ambulatory care centers that they feel will make money for upper corporate management.  They skimp on staff, equipment and supplies.. Poor support from this company.  
  This company purchased the previous surgery center. Little to no visibility from the corporate people except to criticize and find errors .  First and foremost, they are motivated by money. The more they can get from minimum staff the better for them. There is no true concern for employee morale or quality patient care.
   There is no enjoyable part of job.  You come in, get job done and leave. You may or may not get a morning break,sometimes no lunch depending on how many people are working. Get sent home early, told to come in late.
  Administrative staff lack working knowledge and they lie a lot.

When I first started working for the surgery center, we had an awesome team. Then the company got greedy and wanted a piece of the anesthesia billing so they replaced the 3 CRNAs we had there with a CRNA who shows up to work under the influence of drugs, treating patients, gropes another employee, drops his pants in patient care area,  and over medicated a patient. The new director is married to one of the present CRNA. In my eyes this is a major conflict of interest (this is a mutual feeling among many of the staff), how can one be objective when the one that is complaining is your wife. There are CNAs (transporters)  there, that are performing duties way out of their scope of practice. The CNAs administer drops, start and titrate oxygen, both being a medication and cannot be given by a CNA.

The work itself was fulfilling and the staff I worked with were exceptional. However, the leadership at this center created an unhealthy work environment that made it difficult for many employees to stay. The Director often singled out staff, and interactions frequently left employees feeling intimidated or unsupported. Minor mistakes were amplified, and instead of coaching or collaboration, the approach often felt punitive. Many nurses chose to leave because of this, resulting in constant turnover. Although HR was made aware of these concerns, there was no meaningful change. It’s unfortunate, because the team and the patients deserve better leadership and a more respectful culture.
