Pros
Past leaders had a different vision for the company where there used to be pros, but lately the leaders and especially the executives are driving this local company to outsource and fire majority of its operations staff thanks to execs like Jayme Pu’u and David Herndon.
Cons
- hierarchical management style; very top/down, non-inclusive decisions and horrible company culture - there is no work-life balance; work is your life and if the pandemic never happened, you’d be living in the HMSA building! Where’s HR when your manager’s calling while you’re out on sick leave asking for project status?! There are no boundaries or comprehension of “personal time”… your life is HMSA. - management and the company doesn’t care about growing their employees, rather they can venture out and seek supposed “cheaper” outsourced vendors like Infinite and First Source to do the job (which by the way they’ve let go of 200+ employees and outsourced many more). These outsourced employees are then being asked to train their replacements. - bad strategic approach and high, costly expenses for projects that status and fall through with low to no return. - super low pay for employees hidden under the facade of “non-profit” company while the executives and management bring in a hefty bonus each year on top of their salaries that are higher than any of the minions below them. - there is no diversity and inclusion at HMSA. They have small groups that seem diverse and inclusive, but look at everyone that sits up top at HMSA and tell me they aren’t part of the privileged groups in Hawaii; specifically Caucasian or Asian decent and never any female CEO’s. Dr. Mark is a prime example of the elite because he hires most of his friends into high positions and doesn’t care about his employees in company posts, brags about his trips taken or life in general and frankly, leading the company to failure.
