Improve communication.

The company has a nice building and well kept facilities. It is also very close to the Woodlands mall and the Woodlands marketplace.

The management and vision of the company lacked transparency. The management team seemed to fight with one another even in front of other employees.

Pros

Pay is decent for an RN, great doctors to work with, not overworked, you have an 830-5 work hours. Excellent benefits.

Micromanagement at times.they often times don't listen to their employees. Budget is what's on their minds. Very small raise.

Advice to Senior Management

Empower and trust in who you hire. Have respect for your colleagues. Broaden your perspective beyond the US Oncology way.

Pros

Location is easy to get to. Aesthetically pleasing to the eye outdoors. Great Mission Statement. Ability to work with great clients seeking the same goals to help cure cancer. Personal reward is knowing you are apart of truly making a diffference in just one patient's life.

Cons

Poor pay, poor hours, poor leadership, poor training, poor working environment (no privacy, loud, and many interuptions due to the working environment stucture). No room for career advancement, nor recognition for work well done after working well over a 50 to 60 hour work week. To much Politics in the workplace.

Advice to Senior Management

Trust yourself to have trust in those you have hired to not only do a job well, but to also exceed on a job well done.

Pros

Some best reasons working at US Oncology: some co-workers, the mall and our contirbution to improve treatment to cancer society. having coworkers to laugh with goes a long way to eaze some of th e frustration and the mall got a lot of restaurants to sit and release. at days end I gave of my self to help cancer society

Cons

management one downside and favirtism. I toak to other employees so I don't feel along in knowing that this is a widespread company practice that is ignored. guess i'm coming in on something that was swept under the rug instead of cleaned up and soon the pile will be too big to ignore.

Advice to Senior Management

Get trained and show real quality in your skills. leave the personal issues, clicks and favs outside the door. Trainig and maturity aren't going hand in hand. Listen to the employees that represent the company because their work represent the production you want out.

Pros

Location and vacation time are reasonable.

Cons

Horrible management and HR. Managers are friends with HR personnel and therefore nothing happens when you reach out to them. Merit increases are a joke! 2% increase that comes out to no more than a few cents to the hour. Hopefully changes come soon with McKesson!

Advice to Senior Management

Quit having favorites and do not have personal relationships with HR personnel. It is EXTREMELY unprofessional!

Pros

The salary is the only Pro about USON.

Cons

I am looking for work because this place is so unstable. They really need to evaluate their management team. When I started I heard an old employee say she was leaving without another position in hand - why you ask? Her manager was horrible and yelled like a manic all the time. So allow the employees to rate their managers maybe the higher turnover would be minimal. Ask anyone there not too many have been their past 3 years...

Advice to Senior Management

Allow managers to be rated by their employees, train your team on their work functions and allow for creative juices to flow, create a comfortable work environment, enforce work - life balance and push for more company functions and open forums. Often times I hear that you can even go to HR to voice your issues because they are in ties with the Management team so what do you do - just take it until you are either fired or leave willingly. The place is HORRIBLE - with McKesson buying them out I hope for change.
