Murfreesboro Medical Clinic

Benefits
Health benefits begin starting from day 1 (dental, vision, and health insurance with an HSA to help offset the cost of the high deductible); they also have a health incentive program where they will reimburse you up to $60 per month for a gym membership *if* you go to your gym 12 times per month. 401k eligibility begins 6 months - 1 year after hire, if I'm not mistaken.

Pay
Bi-weekly. Raises when I left were at 2% per year based on employee evaluation, if I am not mistaken.

Holidays
Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving (Thursday AND Friday), Christmas, and New Years.

PTO
Hours accrued monthly. Hours accrued increase with years employed.

HR
HR coordinates an orientation process where they review your benefits with you and you receive training on HIPAA, OSHA, and the EMR software (and scheduling software, if applicable to your position). I know I'm probably leaving something out, but just know that they are thorough in their training!

Bonuses
The clinic itself does issue a small Christmas bonus; the bonus amount increases with the duration of your employment

Dress code
Business - business casual for clerical positions and scrubs for clinical positions; must have MMC logo visible on clothing on at all times. Fridays are "Jean Day" and you must pay your employee committee rep $1 to wear them (the $1 goes towards clinic functions/holiday parties).

Employee Committee
A team whose members consisted of a person from each department. Made decisions on company holiday parties and conducted fundraisers for "Hearts & Hands" (a collective title for 4 local charities; the committee takes votes from all of the employees annually on which charities the company would like to support for the year).

I loved working at Murfreesboro Medical Clinic; I gained so much knowledge and experience, but more than that, I developed friendships that mean the world to me. Going to work was work, but it was joy to be around people and patients that came to be more like family. Overall, this is a wonderful place to work, in my humble opinion and based on my experience!

The only cons?
-Salaries: They really could stand to be a little higher.  The cost of living is creeping up to be somewhat comparable with Franklin.
-Dress code: MMC logo must be visible on clothing at all times.  Maintaining apparel with a logo comes out of the employees' pocket and can be very costly. I also feel that it's extremely unfair that management is not required to wear MMC logos while non-management (the lower salaried employees) are.
-Flu Vaccination Policy: If you elect to forego the flu vaccination, you are required to wear a surgical mask in patient areas for the duration of the flu season (which can last up to 5 months).
I feel this policy is a breach of HIPAA for the employees, in that, co-workers will be aware that you've elected to forego a vaccination (and vaccinations are a very touchy subject); it also raises cause for concern with patients because they are concerned that you may be sick.  I feel this policy is unnecessary because the CDC does not require health care employees to be vaccinated; it is only recommended.
-Remote work opportunities: There are none available.

My time was very short with MMC. I was excited to work for such a reputable company but in the end in my opinion it’s not worth it for the amount of work you do and the bare minimum compensation offered. Not to even mention the benefits packages are so expensive it’s not even worth the compensation you were receiving. I could maybe justify if the benefits were worth the cost, however anytime I used my insurance for something I felt like I would pay more out of pocket at the time of visit than what insurance was covering for the visit. The provider I worked for was very disrespectful toward me and only cared about how quickly he could get out the door at the end of the day. I was made to believe I was joining a department that worked well as a team, however all I ever witnessed was gossip and drama. I felt like I was in the movie Mean Girls. This environment was not what I was looking for. Also, forget if you have a sick child or call out sick yourself. I was treated like a horrible person for ever staying home because I didn’t have an additional babysitter to watch my child while they were out of school/daycare. If you don’t have kids or a family to go home to, this may be the company for you. 

The laboratory has good knowledgable people and some not so much. There is high turnover and the techs work closely with phlebotomists, which is a lot of drama. Everyone is always complaining about doing their job and wants others to do it for them. There is never enough help and techs are sometimes asked to assist phlebotomist or covering front desk to check in patients. The days of phlebs and techs doing the same job should be done with, they are not in the same category. They need to hire enough phlebotomist for each location and quit putting that stress on the techs. Also, working half days on Saturdays is mandatory. You don’t get a day off or get to leave early during the week to compensate. If you work at other locations and are the closer for the day, you also have to drive across town to deliver samples on Fridays because they won’t hire a courier to do it. There’s just a lot of extra things here they make you do and it’s not worth it really for the pay grade they offer and it’s not often recognized or praised if you do it.  There are people here that’s been here for 20+ years and don’t want to change anything to make it better. Overall though I met some nice people and it wasn’t a terrible place to work. 

Been with the company 6 years. The first 1.5 years were awesome but then things started to go downhill, fast. My workload became WAY to much to handle and my manager expects me to get it all done regardless of my mental health. Management boasts that they will give help when it is asked for, however, my experience has been the exact opposite. I ask for help and it falls on deaf ears with only one exception. It's not all bad as there are may perks such as free lunches most days, Christmas bonuses, and other little bonuses throughout the year. My biggest complaint, and, if addressed, would turn this all around, is that I wished when an employee legitimately needs help and asks for it that management would listen rather than pick apart the story of the employee asking for the help.

5 years of service, great reviews, never written up. LOVED the clinic until recently when one office mgr has left a bad taste in my mouth.  Experienced six months of a hostile work environment caused by a newly hired employee. Mgmt witnessed the employee raise voice to me and belittle me on several accounts, and failed to do anything besides acknowledge that it happened. I spent six months  working in a hostile work environment, attending meetings (office mgr. mentioned in final meeting that she wanted to bring a friend from another department in to "fill in"), and having no support, to find  out that the "friend" would be taking my position after I put in my notice, so I was basically pushed out.

You will be overworked and under compensated. If you're one of the lucky few that are paid well, they'll do everything they can to get you fired. All they care about is money. They preach "patient care" all day long but when it comes down to it, they're only looking out for themselves. Most doctors there are outstanding and genuine, it's just a shame that management is so awful.
Beware of upsetting the wrong person, because favoritism is so prevalent you WILL have a target on your back. The PTO and flexibility of scheduling personal appointments during work hours are the only pros with this job. If you value your mental health, I do not recommend.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The catering that the pharmaceutical reps bring in, frequently 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Coworkers that are petty and would rather watch you fail as an individual than help you succeed as a team. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
My experience was toxic, but overall, besides one department, the environment and culture are welcoming and friendly 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get to work, listen to my mean coworker say nasty things about people, work, accidentally overhear her say nasty things about me, report it to boss, no one cares, cry, work, go home.

Well established medical/surgical clinic serving Rutherford County area for many years. Specialties range from family practice to OB/GYN to specific surgical and radiological needs.  Warm, friendly team oriented environment with up to date state of the art medical equipment and computer technology. Highly trained physicians, clinical and clerical support staff who excel in meeting the needs of our community.

Radiology is an exciting department with several modalities to learn.  Have to know the particulars such as being NPO or show up with a full bladder.  Drink contrast or make sure the patient has taken her medication in case there is an allergy to contrast.  Prepare benefits and collect monies.  Counsel patients if needed on monies owed.  Also discuss patients on their balance or charges they have been billed for.   Interesting department and people.

A typical day at work here was starting at 8:00 am and doing the best job you could do. I learned a great deal while I was here. Patient care was the most important. The hardest part of this job was knowing what to do in what order since it was my first MA job. I learned quickly and did a great job. The physicians I worked for here went into practice of their own and established Middle Tn Urology Specialist. I continued to work for them until I left. It was a good place to work.
