Pros
- Full autonomy over schedule - Phenomenal tech platform - Weekly/biweekly 55-minute appointments and most patients pay $0 out of pocket - Potential for various state licensure coverage if the request is accepted - Small stipends for CEUs and office expenses
Cons
Since starting with Nourish, the company culture has been extremely diluted and RD support has gradually been decreasing. RDs used to have an assigned manager and receive performance feedback, but now there are 4 managers for a team of >1300, and RDs are only evaluated on calculated metrics based on patient feedback and number of appointments. Due to the incessant hiring, RD schedules aren't being filled like they used to, which is starting to make it financially impossible to work only for Nourish full-time. Instead of taking ownership or pausing the hiring, leadership deafly advises RD's to market themselves more (not the conditions upon hire), apply for other state licenses, or take on more specialties. Also, RDs pay a high monthly premium for very high deductible insurance plans while non-patient-facing Nourish employees pay $0/month. Working as a RD for Nourish has been a consistently demoralizing experience.
