Total Rewards
What We Believe
We believe in taking better care, of the patients we serve and the people who practice with us. Our core values of uncompromising care, accountability, collaboration, empathy, and ingenuity shape everything we do, from providing exceptional care for those who need it most to recognizing and rewarding the talented clinicians and colleagues who make it happen. An important part of Sound’s Total Rewards is our flexible, comprehensive benefits program designed to support and enhance your health and well-being. Whether your priorities are physical, mental, emotional, or financial, or you’re seeking better balance in life outside of work, our programs and resources are here to help.
Our Philosophy
What you bring makes us better, and we are committed to rewarding that impact. Our compensation philosophy is rooted in our promise to bring better careers to our clinicians and colleagues. We offer competitive, market-based pay from day one and regularly benchmark our programs to stay aligned with industry standards. We also provide meaningful incentives that recognize quality care, teamwork, and operational excellence, along with referral rewards that reflect our shared success. Just as we listen to our patients, we listen to our people because your voice helps shape how we care for one another.
What We Offer
We provide a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your financial, physical, and emotional well-being. Our offerings include 401(k) retirement plans, medical, dental, vision, and pharmacy coverage, along with Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) options. We support your personal journey with student loan forgiveness, mental health resources, wellness programs, and lifestyle spending reimbursements. Additional benefits include legal assistance plans, long-term care coverage, deferred compensation opportunities, and exclusive discounts and work perks.

“We want colleagues at Sound to feel taken care of in a way that’s real. Total rewards here means pay that feels fair, plus benefits built around choice. Benefits are personal, and people’s needs look different.”
Allison King,
Vice President, People Operations -

“One of the things I appreciate most is that Sound genuinely listens to its colleagues. Feedback is not only welcomed—it’s acted upon. The organization continually invests in improving benefits, recognition efforts, and pathways for growth based on what team members share. That commitment to listening and evolving creates an environment where people feel valued, heard, and supported. ”
Barb Grunklee,
National Director, Practice Management Team -

“In emergency medicine—where burnout is highest—our job is to make your work easier and support you as a clinician and as a person. We give you the tools, resources, and team around you so you can truly thrive.”
Sanjay Iyer, MD, FACEP
National Medical Director of Practice Performance -

“Total rewards at Sound means investing in people, their growth, development, and well‑being — Sound Strong is one of the ways we do that. Sound Strong is our colleague assistance fund for acute financial issues — natural disasters, the loss of a loved one, and other personal hardships. It’s funded by donations and company matches, and the philosophy behind the program is that we take care of the people who take care of patients.”
