- 4.0Sep 30, 2023Registered Nurse, BSNCurrent Employee, more than 3 yearsAtlanta, GA
Pros
The patients are what keeps me there! They are grateful, more so than at other facilities. Everything under one roof so facility tries to meet the patient needs-scans, homeopath, nutrition, chiropractor- all on campus. The facility is nice, non hospital feeling. Hotel on site for sick patients who need to stay close. Overall employees are kind to other teams. It’s more so that way than at other facilities. We were recently bought out so it’s becoming less family and more business. We used to have free lunches now and again or other treats. That is no longer. Good deals for employees if they need medical care here. Pharmacy co pay minimal fo employees
Cons
Have had five bosses in 3 years and am now on fourth director. They give you more responsibilities but no time to do it. Don’t listen to how staffing shortages are very challenging. Patients may have an hour or longer wait lately bc of the need for staff. MAs are under used. Management /leadership is often in staffing so are not leading. Do not feel supported or listened to.

Pros
The pay is good, and the fellow team mates are great to work with every day.
Cons
The manager and supervisor are degrading when you reach out or don’t agree. The supervisor doesn’t care about your input and fails to communicate clear directive. You can’t go to your manager in reference to the behavior from supervisor because the favoritism.

- 5.0Nov 6, 2023Clinical Research Data CoordinatorCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearDuarte, CA
Pros
Being able to work remotely Independent work

There is a lot of backlog, and in the beginning there was high turnover, but for the past year, we’ve had the same employees on my team
- 3.0Apr 29, 2023Clinical Research CoordinatorFormer Employee, more than 5 yearsDuarte, CA
Pros
Good benefits, retirement, was able to work remotely, overall co-workers were great and supportive if you asked them questions about job processes.
Cons
Work-life balance was poor, management was not supportive and would make it seem like they were listening and would work on getting you help but then wouldn't. Management was reactive rather than proactive in handling situations like when employees would leave or if there were employees not doing the work they should've been doing, making the work fall to those that had no choice but to do the work of more than one person and be expected to handle their own work and meet regular deadlines. This came with a lot of stress and burnout, costing the department experienced talent. Management needs to support those the work falls on because the work seems to fall on a small handful of people, costing them workers that are knowledgeable in the position and processes.

Strong sense of self-importance permeates the executive leadership, which is largely non-physician and non-scientist.

Micromanaging was over the roof, high call volume, and the clinics are not much help.
