Premier Allergy & Asthma

I found myself embarrassed at times working for this company. I interviewed at the corporate office which is exceptionally nice. I saw the end of year party which included a casino experience and hotel rooms for employees. That being said, I was baffled at the EMR system used in their offices. I have used EMR systems for over 25 years and I have never seen anything so outdated and hard to navigate. I actually had a patient comment on how ridiculous it sounded as I was being trained to use it. When mentioning how I was very confused by it and asked  how my coworkers felt about it, I quickly found out that many of the employees are related or "best friends". Monetary referrals are something that I haven't seen in my lengthy healthcare career. 
The upper management uses multiple programs to make coworkers feel like friends and overly pushes "fun" to keep them preoccupied from a very strange and inefficient workplace environment. I do not understand how a company gets so many employees to get on board with dramatically overcharging patients but it's very odd how it has happened. It think the very young employees, the referral program and the push for friends and fun keeps staff that is easy to take advantage of and it was sad to watch. Regarding uniforms, they make you use a uniform store and wear both a shirt and jacket monogrammed with the company name, making a $60 reimbursement sound wonderful. I spent $98 on one shirt and one jacket and when asked if I would like another that they had extra, i was told that I "was all set" having one. Yet another way to say money at the expense of employees.
I just wouldn't recommend this company. I have 26 years of experience in this position and with many different employers and this is the only time I've experienced such a circumstance. 

Haven’t been there too long but they show their true self after about 6 months. Seems great until its not. There is a reason they say you need to be able to remain calm during stress. Here is what they tell you in the job description with what it really like.
Work / life balance is valued and expected - is not, these are words they say but don’t act on except for certain people who have information 
Commitment to personal and professional development - none at all except im finding me to become more of a negative person since starting here when I wasnt at all before.
Loyalty and commitment between the organization and employees - is this there way of saying don’t tell ppl about how some things are done. One doctor just left because of this and some others before that
Room for advancement and equity opportunity - this is a actual joke, be sure to ask some questions about this equity thing
Long tenured employees, high employee engagement, and a strong executive and leadership team - at one point yes but not now. They drive out the good because leader wants people that agree and has it with women that act completely opposite of their church and turn a blind eye to some things they know is happening. I first thought I was in a good place with church going leaders but I see what they say and what pretend to not know shows their true self. Really fake and sad now that I know they are ok with some things we do to make more money.
Also, the pay is low as everywhere in healthcare increased with inflation but not us. I took the decrease to work here because of flexibility I need but I am constantly reminded that I need to work when they tell me to because that is what I signed up for.

I've really enjoyed working at Premier Allergy & Asthma for a number of reasons.  I love that the managers have all worked the positions they manage so they know the tasks we handle and the interactions we go through daily with patients. Employees are always being recognized for the times they are adaptable, helpful, and positive.  My coworkers and managers are approachable when I need guidance and I'm always learning new things from the Providers.  At the front desk, I check in and out patients for appointments and shot visits.  I schedule them for follow ups, collect payments, and update paperwork.  I answer phones, manage faxes, and return voicemails.  I think the hardest thing is learning to juggle the tasks and prioritize them, but the training we receive is thorough and I got into a rhythm quickly.  The most enjoyable part of the job is the relationships I've built with my coworkers and the relationships I've built with the patients.

Premier Allergy and Asthma has been an amazing workplace.  Most positions work 3-12's and it's a great way to have some daytime to do all those things that most jobs make you save for the weekend.  They work hard to accommodate your schedule and this allows for time with your family.  Speaking of family, at Premier Allergy and Asthma- my family is often asked about and my coworkers and leadership genuinely care about us. The leadership team strives hard to include family in activities (For example- they rented the Drive in theater for a night and showed a family friendly movie during COVID -with snacks provided!)
On a daily basis, this is a fast paced work environment, however training is sufficient and coworkers are always helping each other.  When you clock out for the day, you can go home without taking your work with you.  There are bonuses each quarter as well. 
The leadership team is very open and responsive.  I love the open door feel and I love that my ideas and suggestions are heard, respected and often acted upon quickly. 

Typical day includes starting off with confusion and unpreparedness due to nursing staff not having enough time to prepare for the day as well as managers constantly changing schedules to fit THEIR OWN agendas.  From there the chaos continues with demanding amounts of patients and work load, hardly any time to sit down.  Medical inconsistencies and neglectfulness of patients health were very prevalent, when address nothing was changed and just caused even more confusion.   
Nurses are severely underpaid compared to the work load you are given. This company will tell you they care about their employees, actions prove otherwise. 
The CUSTOMER is always right , they are not a patient to them.  Premier has allowed constant disrespect from patients to their staff and nothing is done about it.

If you’re in the correct cliques/offices you may have a better experience. 
Drug rep lunches were nice. Limited benefits.
There is no culture.  

Working 3 12 hour shifts is the best part of this job. The pay rate is a joke, there are front desk employees getting paid more than nurses. The coworkers I had are great, but management is terrible. There is clear favoritism and if management doesn’t like you, you will get treated differently and or be out of a job. Management treats employees poorly and then tries to make up for it by giving out gas cards. The pto system and attendance policy is a joke. I’m not sure why they even have a system if they are not going to abide by it. They will use any excuse to fire an employee, regardless of policy. They specifically cater to senior employees and play favorites. I somewhat blame myself for even accepting this job, because I noticed many red flags when I worked for the company. Oh, and don’t even mention you have any type of illness or disability, because they do not care. They also claim that they accept FMLA and work accommodations, but they will not honor it and fire you anyway.

Premier Allergy and Asthma sees the potential in it's employees and really works to help grow those with a passion for their work. They almost solely promote from within. I have been so happy to have had the opportunity to work here, I've learned so much and the managers are always encouraging me and pushing me to be my best. They provide the tools I need to do the next best thing. This is a very busy, fast-paced work environment but we are highly rewarded for all of our hard work. There is always something fun going on to motivate us and bring a smile to our face. The owners and managers really care about me as a person. I have built strong friendships here and truly value my co-workers. The physicians here are so kind and easy to work with. If you're looking to work hard, make a difference, build friendships and have fun with the support of a great team this is for you. 

My time here has been a 4 out of 5 until the past few months. Some major turnover here changed things with a leadership team that can no longer lead without the only person that actually knew how to lead here anymore. We are all just sitting by waiting for final company failure or our paychecks to not be paid, as there is no accountability for anyone anymore. Leaders are now just driving numbers with no support on how to improve. Passive aggressive comments by leaders make us want to do less and the patients can see it now which is why they are leaving for better practices. So disappointed in the drama and how leaders say that the drama needs to end, but the amount of things said by them behind people’s backs or about people that are no longer here shows how blind they are now without an ethical business leader. I cannot leave now with the holidays but will be looking after the first of the year, as are many others I work with, which btw I love most of my co-workers, just not leadership.

This company is not what you think. The culture overall has been the worst Ive ever seen it as some people that really tried to make us better are no longer here. We lost some really good leaders and nurses. I see favoritism all the time, and the only path to a promotion is to just pretend that you are ok with some of the latest practices to try and make more money for the company like making every patient get tested even when they dont even need it. Im shocked by some of the things that the management are ok with telling us to do now and they continue to make the same mistakes when they used to think the same things when they were on the floor. Shady ownership, short staffed, and no accountability. We hire anyone and that wont work out. Whats good is that I can work here for a paycheck until I find the right fit because I ignore the drama each day.

I've really enjoyed working here.  I love the 3 12 hour shifts and having 4 days off a week at home with my kids.  I don't bring anything home from work and only working one Saturday morning a month is awesome.  I feel like I have true friends here.  When the day is busy, we all work together to get through it and we are recognized by management for the hard work.  It's interesting to see the company grow and change and all the managers were promoted from within.  I see how new positions are created when a need arises and that seems to be often with how quickly we are growing.  All companies have drama and negativity, but we focus on minimizing that and working together as a team. I love interacting with the patients and the extra bonuses they offer us like collections bonuses, productivity bonuses, training bonuses. etc.
