Weil Foot & Ankle Institute

Micromanaging is real at this company. If you make one error everyone under the sun gets copied in those emails and will make sure you get "corrective action" which will be referred to as "coaching." Your shift can and will be switched the day of with no care in the world. If it is outside your pod you will basically be forced to go and if you know your rights and push back you start getting harassed to make you feel like you HAVE to go. You never see higher ups on-site but when they are there the concern is more about signage, badges and uniforms than obvious severe issues in the offices. The offices are full of drama and tattling and when you report it they claim to investigate things and you never hear from them again. Multiple complaints have been put in against the same staff harassing others and they're still there. They are quick to let go of good staff because they speak up but keep the bad apples employed. Physicians get involved in office drama and gossip as well. They all walk around talking about how much they hate their jobs and how they're unhappy with the whole organization bringing the morale to an all time low. All that matters to them is the money. There is no work-life balance. Your higher ups will call you at any time of the evening, set up meetings at ridiculous times and god forbid you don't answer a call your higher up will blow up your phone. There was truly nothing enjoyable about this job it consumed my life and gave me constant anxiety. Working at Weil was the biggest mistake of my life, the worst experience in my career without a doubt.

The job and patients? Wonderful. Other than that? Management and corporate make idiotic  "policies and procedures" that are financially wasteful and make no sense in the actual workplace. They are not focused on patient care, only on the dollar. You get hired for clinical duties and are bullied in to administrative and clerical duties. If you "want your hours" then you have to take on the extra duties they force upon you, otherwise they "see no reason to schedule you in the clinic " Every day as a MA we walk out with things left undone, yet are bullied in to extra responsibilities in order to get our hours, because corporate refuses to hire extra staff, after people quit, for those 'said' duties. If you have doctor's appointments? Don't bother. Time off denied. Don't ever call in! They don't have backup. If you have children? Don't ever plan on being able to leave if you have an emergency, because there are not enough staff members to cover you. People quit and corp refuses to replace them, so be prepared to take on their duties on top of your own, otherwise you are of no use to them. Vacations? Denied. You are forced to use PTO FOR EVERYTHING and never save enough for a vacation or personal time. If you don't have PTO you aren't allowed to have time off, not even for an emergency. If you value your mental health?" Run" is all I can say! 

The workload is so very heavy even with additional hires. Manager of the billing department can’t seem to balance out the staff properly. The company continues to acquire additional practices without the proper billing staff to do so efficiently, longtime billing staff is very negative and unhappy, direct supervisor in the billing department seems bothered when you ask any questions, physicians refuse to listen to coding rules and regulations creating improper billing and payments which they then scream at staff about. Upper management seems to see no problem with any of these issues as they have all been with the company for at least 1+ years and have yet to make a change. Atmosphere is very heavy and negative. Nearly the whole billing department is in search of new jobs, but are staying solely for the pay. 

This is ultimately the WORST company I've ever worked for. Although, the money is good for just starting in the field. Training was a 3 day process of you just listening to someone talk for 4 hours. The doctors are very entitled and belittling, they do not value their patients need and will charge their insurance for just about anything! I've also delt with harassment from one of the partnered physicians in the company. Management was by far the worst experience for me, communication is horrible. They lie about bonuses just to get you to commute to another location and even though you are hire for one particular location, they can/will move you to a different one and will fire you or cut your hours if you don't agree. This company does not value the importance of their medical assistants or minority staff. Protect your mental health while working at WFAI

The billing team at Weil is lead by a very negative supervisor and longtime staff members. The gossip and negativity amongst the group is very toxic. The supervisor is the ring leader in this culture which is why so many employees have left and are currently looking for other jobs. They hired a manager to address this issue, but even with the best intentions the manager was unable to shift the negativity within the team. Longtime staff once again got their way and the manager voluntarily left the company after only one year. This manager was the only buffer to this negative culture and now is gone. I highly recommend this company does some house cleaning of long time staff so they are able to keep future employees and management staff. 

There is really nothing positive to say about working here. We are overworked and unappreciated. Our pay raises are LITERALLY CENTS. You are constantly having to go to other offices because there is no coverage because the people who get hired leave because its absolutely awful. There are some nice drs but then there are some that treat their assistants like trash and demand everything of them. It doesn't even feel like a place of work, there is NO MANAGEMENT, if you need something good luck. There are no incentives or positive feedback ever. But if one mistake is made there will be an email with 7 other people coming after you. Like where were all of you when help was needed?? They do not value their employees.  If you want to be happy going to work everyday I would keep on looking because this is not the place. 

I am currently a member of the billing team at Weil. As a long-time staff member, I feel valued and supported by the supervisor and fellow team members. After the manager voluntarily left, positive changes have been noted in the department. I find the supervisor helpful and knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the billing department. The supervisor is willing to put her own work on hold in order to help staff members accomplish their tasks.  Team members have constant communication throughout the day to provide assistance to their colleagues. The company overall is very supportive and willing to listen and address any concerns when brought to them.  It's a very much family orientated place to be. 

Where do I start? This company, in my opinion is a complete JOKE! They OVERWORK their good employees, and the employees who do the bare minimum, get away with everything! Management is a complete circus. The pay is NOT worth what you have to endure. Want to take time off? Good luck with that! They try to con you into not taking your NEEDED time off because they fail to have coverage. Constantly want you to bend over backwards for them, but can't do the same for you. Compensation? Let's talk about it. HORRIBLE. In working there for multiple years, busting my tail, I have only received a 35 cent raise. TOTAL SLAP IN THE FACE! All in all, horrible company to work for. I'm just glad I'm getting my experience, so I can jet out of there.

Weil Foot & Ankle is a well-established business that is fairly large but feels like a family. Everyone is welcoming and committed to doing their best, and they are willing to pitch in to help one another when needed. 
Management operates with an open-door policy and they're supportive of their teams. The company celebrates diversity throughout the organization and encourages physicians, staff, and leaders to embrace and celebrate their differences.
The most difficult part of the job might be learning podiatry specific approaches to healthcare if you have no familiarity with foot and ankle care.   

Weil Foot And Ankle Institute has helped me learn, develop and grow with many different opportunities. It helped me learn a lot personally and professionally throughout my career with them. Management team is very friendly, understanding and work well with you. The best part of the job I love the most is helping people out and the family oriented environment the organization has as well as the Diversity & Inclusion Team and Employee Engagement committee's. The hardest part of the job I would say is COVID-stress but overall the company has done a phenomenal job with Covid procedures and protocol to maintain everyone safe!
