Avoid at all costs unless you have no other options, and don't expect it to last long. All they care about is metrics, and if you don't produce, they will eventually fire you. Everyone is forced to put on their fake smiles and act like we work in a great environment. In reality, all they care about is metrics for their private investors. Management clearly has no idea what they are doing, even though there are as many managers as there are workers. 1-2 Hour Meeting 3 times a week, even more if you are written up for productivity, which you most likely will be eventually. Upper Management publicly acts like they care about you so much, and then your supervisor or lead writes you up in private because you can't meet the unrealistic numbers they set. They are getting rid of all the older people who had worked at the previous company for years. Culture of fear for them to squeeze as much as they can out of you and then fire you when you no longer produce. They do not care about their people at all, you are just a number to them. Micromanaged to the fullest, even though they say they don't. Everyone tells on each other for little things like taking an extra minute on a break. There is no camaraderie here, except between management and their favorites.

I could keep going on but I'm sure you understand the overall point here. Some good things are that they have decent benefits, a 401k, M-F regular business hours, some flexibility in scheduling, PTO, and major holidays off.

Don't want to be too "negative," just want to give those out there a fair disclaimer about what they are about to get into. Best wishes.

When I first started there it was a wonderful place a work family that truly cared about each other from the managers to your neighbor in the cubical next to you. If you did not know something they used it as a learning experience and was never made to feel stupid or less than a human. Until the change came the Micromanaging and all the forms is so bad you spend more time on filling out forms than your actual job. You had to fill out  form as to why you are mailing correspondence to a payer and even after that it went in a basket for the supervisor to go through to see if it was really necessary to send even after you talked to the payer stating that was what was required to get an invoice paid. At one point they went as far as going desk to desk taking everyone's white out. Even paper clips and staples are not allowed. The staff is constantly set up for failure. When you get close to your quota they change your views or find other reasons to put you down especially if they do not like you. Its a shame because the co workers and middle management are good people that do not deserve to be stuck on a sinking ship.

I worked for this company back when it was called Pinnacle Anesthesia and watched it's slow decline into USAP. 

You used to be able to accrue PTO but now they have a system where they "give" it to you upfront, and nothing roles over. They'll get on to you if you use it too much upfront since you didn't technically "accrue" it. So everyone ends up trying to use it by the end of the year and they get mad again. If you get let go or quit they will also remove the amount of PTO you used over what you accrued from your last paycheck. Not very fair and hardly seems ethical.

Now the company micromanages their employees. It doesn't matter how over your daily quota you do, you have to work exactly the way they want you to work. Depending on the manager you will either have a manager in your corner or a manager who will throw you under the bus. They've also hired people for one thing then made them do an entirely different thing they were hired for.

It's sad that this place was in the top 20 places to work in Dallas. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone but enemies.



A typical Private Equity organization and culture.   Rapid growth typically leading up to a public sale.  Culture driven by growth, profitability and very short term vision.   Extensive senior leadership changes.  Continually had poor communications throughout the organization.   Failed to have consistent policy and practices amongst the geographical locations.   Ineffective HR senior leadership team that failed to provide basic communication, direction, and vision to and from the field.   History of questionable ethics at the Florida division amongst Physician Leadership.

Most geographical locations have strong medical reputations and physicians.   Very competitive benefits and compensation programs.

As a non-clinical, salaried employee I enjoyed my work as a manager at USAP. I had a full workload and was confident and happy with my job. As other people in my division quit I was given their full time job in addition to mine, with no pay increase. This was an entirely different position. The additional job I acquired was exempt and required copious amounts of overtime, and filling in for others who also accrued overtime.  As I was hired as a salary employee I was never compensated for taking on this additional role that more than doubled my duties and some often had me working 11 or 12 hours days. 

I left USAP when I was denied a 30 minute to 1 hour overlap in time requested off to pick my husband up from surgery. I was told he needed to reschedule his surgery 3 weeks out when less people were on vacation. The work/life balance was not great. 

We were a great company before switching to USAP of Nevada.  Overloaded on other peoples work plus our own work and be expected to be up to date on numbers. The benefits are to much unless you get the High Deductible. This company is so strict to the dot that HR will be on you in a second if you accidentally do something you are not supposed to and basically tell you that if you aren't happy then don't let the door hit you on the way out.  If there is a job open they end up interviewing you for it but then find a way to tell you oh never mind that job is no longer being listed and we are not going to fill it. WHY POST IT THEN??!!! This company has gone down and everyone is expected so much but have to rely on other departments before they are able to do their work. And the system is not user friendly so might as well dive in and drive yourself until you get proper training.

Never in my life have I been more discriminated at a job then at this one.  Pto is not upfront like they quoted if you leave or in my case let go, they took half my final check. Management is horrible and has no communication but will try to write you up for something with no type of warning and say you got ; weeks to approve or you are fired. I was hired for a position and it turned out to be a dub since they was never any work and they just was picking people one by one to fired them so they don’t have to pay severance. There was no way I was making mistakes like claimed and she waited to say something then. When I went to HR to complained, the same HR person I complained to fired me along with my manager for a nonexistent rule that was nowhere in the company policy. That should sum it all for the place. Don’t even bother they don’t appreciate the people who come to work and stay out of trouble and to themselves.

I have learned SO much since beginning here at US Anesthesia Partners. 
I currently work in the credentialing department and part time with Provider Enrollment. Also, I am the assistant to the Division Admin for Excel Anesthesia (partnered with USAP).

My coworkers are fun, uplifting, and knowledgeable and have provided great training!

The hardest part of my job is reminding myself its time to clock out and go home! I enjoy my work and my perfectionist-like personality urges me to keep going until the job is done. 

The only downside for this job, to me, is the distance from my home. I have an hour commute each way and a growing family at home. I love my job and what I get to do everyday, but I'm looking for work closer to home or, preferably, working from home.

There is entirely too much favoritism in the Houston area. The only way for the Nurse Practitioner be successful is by winning the favor of the site chief. It’s extremely backwards in the context of  the registered nurses are over the  NP providers.  The NPs are at the bottom of the hierarchy in terms of value. If you’re looking for a Mid level position that values nurse practitioners, keep moving forward because this is not it.  The HR department is incredibly non helpful to us. They cater to the idea of the NPs are not necessarily needed. They just “ let go” of  several of us a few months ago to cut costs while there are still people who are allowed to take advantage of time and resources because they have the favor of their site chief. Do not work here if you’re looking for a fair and supportive environment.

Management on all levels is very unprofessional and most have no real experience outside of working for USAP.  Therefore, they are all worried that qualified people will come and take their jobs.  Managers will sabotage their teams just to make themselves look good.  The gossip is ridiculous and there is no one there that cares about the culture of the company, though they say they care.. they do not. They make promises of advancement which will never come.  They do not invest in the people that they currently have, they just replace them.  All managers and employees at every level complain behind walls and partitions about how they hate USAP but they can’t go anywhere else due to their lack of experience.   Save yourself the hassle, stay away from USAP, and continue your job search.
