Pros

Selection of travel assignments in different cities.

Cons

Poor pay. Do not pay on time and attempt at every given opportunity to rip you off. Never stand by their employees. Do not try to get anyone especially your recruiter on the phone, they could care less about you as a person. It was a horrible experience that I would not wish on my worst enemy. Horrible travel nursing company.

Aya Healthcare Response

At Aya we do our utmost to ensure every one of our nurses has an exceptional travel experience and we apologize that you do not feel that we took good care of you. We pride ourselves on hiring the hardest working, most caring recruiters and we try to make ourselves as accessible as possible via email, phone and even text. If you had difficulty getting a hold of us we definitely want to know the details. If you would like to speak with someone here about your experience please feel free to contact Tracy in our Nurse Happiness Department at tsano@ayahealthcare.com or 858-263-0749. As for compensation, it changes assignment to assignment depending on quite a few factors and we are always happy to help you look for assignments with the highest pay rates. We know that timely pay is important to our employees and so we offer weekly rather than bi-weekly pay. We work very hard to ensure that you are paid every Friday, but occasionally factors out of our control (usually relating to lack of proof for hours worked) inhibit us from making that happen.

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.
