Respect is not in leaderships vocabulary
Oct 4, 2022 - Manager in Virginia Beach, VARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Excellent mission, proud to work for a company that saves lives, improves health, and gives hope. Donors are a priceless gift.
Cons
Managers have no respect for their employees, work load is not sustainable as people leave and aren’t replaced. Hostile work environment. Employees are insulted frequently and made to feel incompetent and lazy. I’d you don’t drink the cool-aid you’re not included in things, only brown nosers and people who tell leadership what they want to hear are promoted. Everyone else is harassed until they reach the point that leaving is the only option. Many have left this year without other employment secured. Rather be broke than treated like you’re not worth anything.

Loved my job but fed up with the situation
Aug 31, 2022 - Processing Technician in Virginia Beach, VARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I enjoy the work and the people I work with. What we do makes a difference to peoples lives and that matters to me.
Cons
There is little opportunity for growth unless you are either in with the right people or are looking to go into other departments. Advancement opportunities were changed a couple years ago so unless you want to become a supervisor you’re capped as a Sr. Technician regardless how much you do and how much you learn. Maintaining talent also seems to be an issue. There seems to be much more of an effort to get people in the door than to keep people once they have gained experience. Very heavy turnover rate; supervisor and manager positions included. Much more work than there are trained bodies to do properly. Less is more doesn’t seem to resonate with the company unless it is referring to compensation.

Wonderful mission but corporate priorities are more prevalent than the mission
Dec 12, 2022 - Engineer in Virginia Beach, VARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
-The mission is extremely meaningful -No layoffs with covid
Cons
-HR and Vice President positions seem to be the only areas that aren’t understaffed -parades as a non-profit but runs like a for-profit: overworking people in all departments to meet arbitrary goals. -Leadership is almost exclusively men. No women sit in “executive boulevard” -It feels like more executive leadership is being hired than there are people at the bottom to support all of this leadership. Departments are NOT comparable to other company’s structures. Very, very top heavy. Quality does not seem to be a priority proportionally -Bullying to meet deadlines or from staff that has a long tenure is considered acceptable -Pay is not competitive to match the workload, cost of living and the chipping away of benefits. Paid lunch was taken away in 2021 and wages did not account for the 10% increase in expected work time -Merit increase structure for those who are not ELT ranges from 3-4%. If you are satisfactory, you receive a 3% raise. If you go above and beyond, you get a 3.5% raise. If you beat all of the odds (or if you got promoted and became ineligible for a raise), you might, maybe get a 4% raise. Meanwhile, public ELT pay records show ELT raises ranging from 10-30% for years that were available for analysis. -required to wait 18 months to apply to a new position, even if you received a title change as a promotion and have the same job. UNLESS there is “business need” or HR likes you- then you can get promoted faster. -The saying 10% of the people do 90% of the work is absolutely true here. My health suffered from the pressure I felt to pick up slack for the mission. Others were pressured by management. -since non profit tax returns are eventually public: total non-executive salaries paid in 2019 to 2020 raised by 7% while total salaries paid to executive leadership raised by 20%. Even the numbers show that the priority is on paying executives and not supporting the average member of the team or the mission

CHRO
We appreciate all comments and inputs regarding our culture and work experience at LifeNet Health. As many organizations strive daily to have the ideal work environment there are employees who have less than ideal experiences. We have an open door policy and it starts from our CEO and everyone of his direct reports and it cascades throughout the organization. Throughout the pandemic work environments have become stressful and required more of those in the workforce, LifeNet Health is not any different when it comes to this. We do however strive daily to find measures to address this and believe we are doing heading in the right direction. Thank you once again for this comment. If you are still employed with us please feel free to contact your HRBP or come directly to my office where we can discuss your concerns.
