Pros

I love working at Aya. I’m motivated to help staff hospitals across the country to bring healthcare to everyone. It’s not perfect, but people DO care about you. I have a rare perspective where I work across many teams including leadership, compliance and operations (as little old admin, bottom of the totem pole) and I have not witnessed the toxic workplace environment some people mention here. People are respectful and the subject of employee satisfaction is always top of mind. I’ve been at Aya for many seasons. Is it the same as COVID? No it’s not. but it was a pandemic and we’re a healthcare staffing company. You don’t want our business to boom like that again, it would mean tons of people are sick and hospitals aren’t staffed. Layoffs were awful and I miss my coworkers that were asked to leave. but the business changed after Covid and demand isn’t the same across the entire industry, not just at Aya Pros: Remote Positive work environment Unlimited PTO Fun events Beautiful office with free food Great coworkers DEI-forward with commitment to equality TLDR: layoffs suck but you don’t want infinite exponential growth in healthcare Expectations are high, but the environment is good and work-life balance is amazing

Cons

Pay is decent but not competitive with tech Growing pains

Pros

Working from home is the only real perk. The PTO policy looks good until you try to use it. Time off has to be approved months in advance, and you’re made to feel guilty for taking it because you’ll lose business and fall behind on unrealistic metrics. A benefit isn’t much of a benefit when you’re afraid to use it.

Cons

The micromanagement has reached an uncomfortable level. For years, recruiters were expected to record conversations without candidates’ consent. Now, with the new phone systems, managers can monitor text messages and listen to calls. None of this is going to improve business outcomes or recreate the profits the company saw during the COVID hiring boom. On top of that, employees are made to feel like they are constantly on performance improvement plans, with unrealistic goals that are nearly impossible to meet. Targets are frequently adjusted or moved altogether, making it extremely difficult to hit metrics, earn bonuses, or make a meaningful income. It creates a sense that no matter how hard you work, success is always just out of reach. Leadership has become increasingly unprofessional and, in many cases, unqualified. Fear and constant surveillance seem to have replaced trust as the primary management strategy. The compensation is no longer competitive enough to justify the environment. As for the “Aya Listens” surveys, it’s hard not to question whether they’re truly intended to gather honest feedback or simply identify employees who are speaking up.
