Current Employee – been working at Apria Healthcare full-time for more than 7 years

ProsSome advancement potential, nation wide positions available, decent pay for your position, constant education, wide array of positions available within the company.

ConsZero trust within the company, constant focus on bottom line rather than customer service and improving company's reputation, continually consolidating services, unable to build report with fellow employees, frequently changing processes, high turn over in all positions.

Advice to Senior ManagementFocus more on the employees and better customer service.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Madison Heights, MI

Former Employee – worked at Apria Healthcare full-time for more than 8 years

ProsExcellent opportunity to network with doctors referrals and patients.

Current Employee – been working at Apria Healthcare

Prosa paycheck and benefits; caring, hardworking/overworked co-workers

Consonly a short time in the company and already I see nepotism, favoritism, and a total disregard for morale . . . no training provided, requests for help met with hostility, but employees quickly berated for mistakes; customer service poor because of lack of personnel

Advice to Senior ManagementI don't think management at any level cares to listen to any advice

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Apria Healthcare full-time

ProsI can't think of any pros.

ConsConstant pressure to lower operating cost at the expense of customer service. Executive management pushes initiatives into the branches without analyzing outcomes. It seems that they are driven by the competitive atmosphere to "be the first division to roll out". Nothing wrong with competive management, but it has become more than that. Take a serious look at Blackstone which owns Apria. They buy and flip organizations. Increase the Operating Income to look better on paper then sell.

Advice to Senior ManagementTake referral survey reports to heart. The customer service is awful and the reason is poor planning and execution of the centralized systems in place. Your Branch Managers cannot overcome this poor service!

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Tempe, AZ

Current Employee – been working at Apria Healthcare full-time for more than 3 years

ProsCompany has been around for a long time and is a name in the healthcare industry

ConsPoor Leadership and high turnover. It is hard to keep people long enough to become really good at something here.

Advice to Senior ManagementIf you treat your employees as adults and not children, they are more likely to want to work for you. Being a hard taskmaster is not conducive to a healthy work environment

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Raleigh, NC

Former Employee – worked at Apria Healthcare full-time for more than 3 years

ProsThe work I did at Apria kept me busy. I like this type of work. Co-workers, as a whole, are helpful and are willing to extend a hand to help you acclimate to the position.

ConsThere was no formal training program in place. The department I worked in required working past your schedule time to leave and coming in on weekends. if you have responsibilities after 5 or on weekends this may not be the position for you.
