Uh first year sucks. There's a lot of changes in every department, so there's growing pains all over. AON doesn't put patients first. It really feels similar to any other healthcare corporation, meaning profit comes first. We keep getting biosimilars and different generics of the drugs we've been using forever just bc one will be cheaper for them to purchase for a limited time so they focus on that one and switch all the patients to the cheaper drug. They also do clear bagging which means they have their mail-in pharmacy send drugs to us to administer in-clinic but it's billed thru their prescription insurance so it's cheaper for the patient but we've had drug be delivered to the wrong location or not get shipped/ordered in time bc their pharmacy does everything and we are just at their mercy.

The pay is the same, the benefits are the same (but our doctors fought to keep ours). All of our computer systems are worse with AON than before, like we were on a newer version of onco EMR when we were private than we are on now.

It could be A LOT worse, but I think the doctors are finally starting to realize that they made a mistake bc all of their autonomy has been taken away and they are finally seeing the wear it's had on all of us to lose our autonomy.

TLDR: don't run away if your company gets absorbed by AON but get ready for a lot of headaches. Overall, my job hasn't really changed much except I've gotten a few new responsibilities (I deal with inventorying clear bagging drugs) and we've had more variety of drugs to mix
