More about Northeast Pain Management

It is the largest pain management office in the state of Maine, featuring two specialized X-ray suites and a state-of-the-art ultrasound suite for in-office procedures. The practice is strictly interventional, prescribing no controlled substances and not providing long-term medication management, which creates a distinct clinical environment for advanced practice providers and nursing staff. NPM is an employee-owned company, offering an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) alongside traditional benefits. The clinic operates Monday through Friday on a daytime schedule with no nights, call, weekends, or holidays, which may appeal to nurses and advanced practice providers seeking predictable work hours. The organization employs doctors and advanced-level providers experienced in diagnosing and treating pain of the spine, nerves, muscles, and joints. Employee reviews paint a mixed picture. While staff acknowledge the presence of brilliant, hardworking colleagues and knowledgeable physicians, reviews also describe a toxic work environment with concerns about management support, workplace culture, and trust among colleagues. With only a small number of reviews available, the full picture may still be evolving as this is a relatively young organization.

The goal of Northeast Pain Management is to provide interventional pain medicine of the highest quality in a caring manner. The organization emphasizes quality pain management with care and positions itself as an employee-owned company invested in its workforce.

What nurses say in reviews

Indeed reports an overall rating of 3.0 out of 5 stars based on 3 reviews. Detailed sub-ratings include Work & Life Balance at 3.3/5, Compensation & Benefits at 3.0/5, Job Security & Advancement at 2.3/5, Management at 2.3/5, and Culture at 2.3/5. One reviewer (Administrative Assistant, Jan 2024) described NPM as having 'brilliant, fun and hardworking employees' and 'knowledgeable doctors' but called it 'the definition of a toxic work environment.' Areas for improvement cited include general feeling of work happiness, trust in colleagues, and support from manager. Positive aspects noted include ability to meet personal goals, feeling of personal appreciation, and ability to learn new things. Glassdoor reviews were inaccessible during research.

The good

  • Monday through Friday daytime schedule with no nights, call, weekends, or holidays
  • Employee-owned company with Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
  • Generous PTO: 4 weeks starting, increasing to 5 weeks after 2 years and 6 weeks after 4 years, plus 8 paid holidays and 3 summer paid days off
  • Comprehensive benefits including healthcare, dental, vision, and matching 401(k)
  • CME allowance of $2,000 per year for advanced practice providers
  • No controlled substance prescribing reduces regulatory burden and associated clinical risks

The hard parts

  • Reviews describe a toxic work environment despite talented colleagues
  • Low management and culture ratings (2.3/5 on Indeed) indicate leadership and workplace culture concerns
  • Trust in colleagues flagged as an area for improvement in employee reviews
  • Very small sample of employee reviews (3 on Indeed) limits reliability of workplace assessments
