Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Planned Parenthood full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
It’s great to know that I’ve contributed to keeping health care access available. The mission of the organization is something that I think everyone agrees is important.
Cons
Poor work life balance and lack of recognition for employees that deliver big work. Management and division leaders are disconnected to staff and don’t listen or make decisions inclusively. They claim to value diversity but not all people get treated the same.
Advice to Management
Get rid of your senior leaders and make room for the people who actually do the work.

"Women definitely NOT supporting women"

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Planned Parenthood
Pros
Abortion access. Women’s health care centered.
Cons
Toxic work environment. TOXIC. Women supporting women? Hardly. The women working in our clinic are miserable, petty, gossiping, back stabbing, two faced little children. Everyone reports everyone for everything and is constantly trying to get someone else fired. Training is a disorganized dumpster fire. I’m watching new employees struggle way too hard because nobody cares about them. We’re severely understaffed.... Why? Because new employees don’t stay! If you manage to actually get trained? You are LUCKY. Not paying clinic workers a living wage. Scheduling is all over the place. The right hand never knows what the left hand is doing. Can’t remember the last time I legitimately got my 30 minute lunch break. I have learned I have to turn the other cheek when I’m hearing employees make fun of patients. MAKE FUN OF PATIENTS. Because if I say anything, and I have, then I get ganged up on. I become the bad guy. And backlash starts. I have never been so unhappy at job in all my life... and it’s not worth it for $13 an hour.

CLEAN HOUSE. Pay employees better. Hire TRAINERS to train your new employees. Stop dumping half assed training on current employees who are too lazy to train.

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Planned Parenthood full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Planned Parenthood helps the uninsured get access to reproductive health care. Clients get services for family planning, female gynecological and male exams, STD testing, pregnancy testing on a sliding fee scale on which majority of patients don't pay for their services. What I like about planned parenthood is that their providers give each patient the best care possible and answer all question they have and when... they leave all their questions have been answered and treat all their complains with compassionate care.
Show MoreCons
can get very busy at times and patients get frustrated at times also no appointments available for walk in exams
Advice to Management
leave some slots available for patients that want to get an exam but requires an appointment because some people cannot take the day off and going as walk ins may be their only way to see a doctor.

"Planned Parenthood Mar Monte Inc."

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookI worked at Planned Parenthood full-time for more than a year
Pros
Pro Choice Organization health care provider.
Cons
Planned Parenthood Mar Monte Inc. will give you ambiguous goals with zero support, the workload is tremendous, refuse to hire to appropriate staffing levels, they have one set of rules for executives and another set of rules for everyone else, going through an ugly reorganization, and the executives only care about themselves. This is just another corporation masquerading as if it cares about its employees when... everyone is scared for their job security pending the consultant's reports. They have wasted over $100k on consultants at the expense of good employees, very irresponsible. If you are a finance professional, unless you are desperate, pass this corporation by because if you don't, you will likely regret it.

Pros
great mission, dedicated health center staff, excellent quality of care, committed to equity in health care.
Cons
mediocre leadership and administrative staff. Structural problems that are baked into the organization that will take time to change. Also a culture of institutionalized racism.
Advice to Management
The leadership should reflect the patient demographics. The leadership should make efforts to surround them selves with excellence and diversity.
