Planned Parenthood Employee Reviews about "benefit"

Pros

Great co-workers, hours are good, pay is ok. Helping women with their reproductive needs is the main reason I work for Planned Parenthood.

Cons

Expensive health benefits! I cannot afford the health care insurance for my family and I. It is outrageously expensive. You would think that working in the healthcare field that you'd het better benefits. You don't!

Pros

Huge room for growth and awesome benefits if you have worked there for a year

Cons

work life balance is lacking for management

Pros

Good compensation (per procedure) and other negotiated benefits

Cons

Traveling frequently, multiple staff teams and job sites

Pros

Passionate coworkers Judy is an inspiration! Excellent communication between management and staff Addition of an internal communications/ org. Effectiveness division was brilliant Excellent volunteer program to enhance our services

Cons

Pay is low-ish but that is to be expected in a nonprofit and a wonderful benefits package makes up fir it.

Pros

Great benefits and discounts other than that

Cons

I have been working for planned parenthood for the past 11 1/2 yrs and we are not well paid for everything we do their as a medical assistant we all feel we are unappreciated from our HQ keep in mind 16.97 is not cutting it

Pros

Very committed, long-term, on the ground staff who go above and beyond to fulfill the mission of making every family a healthy family. The benefit the organization provides to the community is outstanding and undisputed.

Cons

The org is chronically understaffed, there is horrific staff moral, and bad seeds are allowed to remain. (Some of whom sit on management team.) If you have a family, and you are trying to work your way up, regardless of how much you produce, don't expect it to be flexible without punitive action. HR cannot address concerns even with proof of a hostile workplace; everything stops with the CEO.

Pros

Friendly and helpful coworkers The benefits are decent Clinical benefits where you get a certain amount of money per year to spend at the Planned Parenthood clinics for any services you want Opportunities for advancement within the company Most of the time you feel like you are making a difference in other people's lives

Cons

The pay is too low In my department it was very hard to take time off and if you were sick but do not have a doctor's note, then that counts as an unexcused absence I don't like that they have separate PTO and sick time. I would prefer to just get PTO and use it for whatever purpose I want to use it for. I didn't really like my supervisor Our internet speed was slow a lot of the time which made it difficult to perform some work-related tasks We were only allowed to wear jeans one day a month whereas many other companies in the area have jeans Friday every Friday. I am nervous about the long-term future of the Rocky Mountains affiliate - the one where I used to work. Let's just say that these are some very uncertain economic times.

Pros

Flexibility and great benefits package

Cons

Unorganized, bad management, perpetually understaffed

Pros

It’s a Salary position with benefits and the position is ahead of the rest of Planned Parenthood when it comes to diversity equity and inclusion

Cons

Planned Parenthood as whole still has a lot of improvements to make

Pros

The greatest benefit gained from working at PPGP was the connections and relationships I made with front line staff. The organizers, educators, and clinic staff are by far the most dedicated, hard working, bright, empathetic, caring, self aware, and powerful leaders I've ever had the privilege of working alongside. Other than that, through trial by fire, I was grateful to eventually learn that PPGP is NOT an organization that should be representative of what true reproductive justice advocacy should look like.

Cons

Inequitable pay structures; the CEO made a quarter of a million dollars while front line staff often made nearly poverty level wages. Classism was often upheld by promoting folks into leadership with little to no leadership experience but with advanced academic backgrounds. Leadership often employed bullying and emotional manipulation/abuse. The only gender and race diversity that exists is among front line staff who are coincidentally paid the least. The organization as a whole continuously failed to further the community engagement and allyship that is essential to reproductive justice activism. Overall, this organization taught me what a repro organization does NOT look like.
