Planned Parenthood Employee Reviews about "health care"

Pros

Extraordinary opportunity to work for an important mission - right to reproductive health care with other people who care as passionately for the mission.

Cons

Unable to pay staff what they deserve

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.

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.

Advice to Management

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.

Pros

Belief in equal health care for sll

Cons

Emotional and physical abuse of employees

Advice to Management

Re evaluate non profit status , mission, and commitment to employees.

Pros

Family oriented. Fun staff, love helping patients learn about the reproductive health care.

Cons

Lots of patients, little time for breaks, no extra incentive to see more patients.

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.

Advice to Management

I have advice, but they would not listen.

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.

Pros

Mission. Helping women get health care.

Cons

Gossip culture rather than one of 360 feedback. Entrenched management without willingness to listen.
