Poor leadership and communication

Advice to Senior Management

Strengthen leadership through stronger communication and relevant training/coaching.

Pros

Great communication and addressed issues promptly, offered amazing compensation and locations that were within my range. I didn't feel pressured and felt I could be very open with my recruiter.

Cons

Unfortunately my recruiter took another position. There were payroll issues, however, they were addressed quickly. There seemed to be many process flow changes as the company was bought out twice while I worked for them.

Advice to Senior Management

More functional and accurate website.... I haven't gotten the customer service I was accustomed to since my recruiter left. Unfortunately, I have moved on with another company but I do not regret the time I worked for this company!

Pros

Some of the employees are congenial

Nice gym and lunch area/dining room.

Nice builiding and convenient location with good parking

Good IT support and adequate supplies when needed

Cons

Many employees hate their jobs and have told HR...promises are made to look into issues and try to improve but nothing ever happens...this has been going on for a few years now. When they want to get rid of someone, they double and triple workload, then hire back someone else they know or befriended. It is very unsecure and tense...looks of staff, even the youngest ones have health issues which look to be related to chronic stress...yes CHRONIC. Management does not care...they are always working to goals to make Board of Director and CEO happy and have no feelings about how abusive they are to employees. It's a shocking environment and shameful.

Advice to Senior Management

Have an outside consulting firm take a long, hard look at how you treat employees and make changes quick.....as the CONS filter down to the poor clients who cannot be handled with best care.

Pros

Executive Leadership is very strong and works hard to deliver on the promise of the values and company culture to the lowest level of staff.

The plan for 2011 is strong.

Cons

Pay is terrible for San Diego.

Advice to Senior Management

You guys are doing a great job at making the entry level folks feel valued and listened to - well done. Your Director-level management team needs more of this or your going to start to lose much of the backbone that got you through the recession.

Pros

Nice cafe and gym for employees.

Cons

Poor management, it is hit or miss with managers. All about who you know not about management skills.

Pros

Largest supplier of healthcare professionals to hospitals. Lots of jobs for healthcare professionals. Company supports national and community charity efforts.

Cons

Low pay for healthcare professionals. You will find yourself the lowest paid travel nurse at your assignment and be charged for things other companies would not charge you for.
There is nothing to encourage healthcare professionals to be loyal to the company. Travelers talk to several people rather than having one point of contact. Paychecks are routinely messed up. Pay is why most people work. It is the most important thing for a travel nurse/allied company to get correct and this company gets it wrong more often than most travelers can take. Continuous decrease in benefits to employees of the company while senior management salaries stay at the top. Company laid off hundreds of employees, slashed benefits while keeping senior management salaries high. Departments are isolated from one another.

Advice to Senior Management

Start to see employees as more than a means to an end. They are human beings. Treat your healthcare providers as if they are as important to you as they really are. Without healthcare providers, you have nothing!
