Full disclosure: I interviewed with a Team Health regional affiliate several years, right out of residency, and as they stiffed me with the travel expenses they promised to reimburse, I’ve never held them in high regard.
That’s neither here nor there, and TH is a company whose officers are probably going to get rich while the docs who, you know, actually provide the professional services won’t get the Big Payday. My ignorance about stock, etc, is legendary, so if there’s a big upside for the working doc, I’d love to hear it.
