Pros

Beautiful corporate mission to provide VIP care to seniors. For sure, the company makes a positive difference in the lives of patients. There are many kind and good people working at ChenMed. Chen Family seems to reflect beautiful values and a true passion for their mission (if only their employees really knew how to execute to make it so.)

Cons

Incredibly disorganized, management-heavy, shifting priorities, gross incompetence in middle management roles, micromanagers, wastefulness and unnecessary levels of management, mold to their cult-like, ra ra culture or else. Say only what managers want to hear, don’t even consider rocking the boat, not a place for disrupters or innovators, toxic culture, two-faced middle managers who say one thing and mean something entirely different, threatened by real-world industry knowledge, incredibly stressful, meeting-heavy, unpleasant culture, managers have no clue what real world project management looks like. Training is terrible! Hours on end in mind numbing Zoom meetings. Egos soothing and butts kissing absolutely required. Colleagues up all night trying to meet unrealistic deadlines set by managers who don’t have a clue. Employees terrified of losing their jobs if they say the wrong thing to the department head. Incredible amounts of waste every day.

Pros

The pay is competitive, however the workload is very heavy. The company does put emphasis on a positive culture, but the teams are in constant fear of lay off, or being let go due to unrealistic productivity expectations

Cons

Bonuses are cancelled, changes are too often, everything is always a priority. The productivity expectations are unrealistic. The other thing is favoritism and nepotism, you will never advance if you are not friendly with certain people. It is very evident that the focus is not on talent when promotions are available.
