Correctional Healthcare Companies – “One debacle after another”

Pros

Lots of company fringe benefits: free good coffee, lunches out, catered meals, and fun team buliding activities.

On the whole, nice co-workers, with the exception of the senior management.

Decent pay.

Cons

No interdepartmental communication - there is an attitude of "that is not MY job" and no one owns anything. Then there is a lot of finger pointing when tasks are missed or issues arise.

A lot of looking down upon the employees by senior level management, and expect to work 11-12 hour days. EVERYONE stays late and if you don't, you are a part of the ongoing "perception problem" --wholly inflexible with regard to hours worked, meaning 45+ whether needed or not.

Absolutely NO career path whatsoever.

Exceedingly expensive medical benefits.

Advice to Senior Management

Invest in your employees, create job pathing, employee resource groups, and foster a generally healthy office. Practically everyone is miserable but too afraid to say anything because nothing ever changes. The issues are not people problems, they are process driven (lack of process) problems. Buckle down and create legit procedures, and hold respective departments responsible for their work load.
