Pros

It’s flexible and pay is competitive

Cons

Where should I being....This company brags about their stable business strategy and innovation but in reality it never changes and keeps using its outdated legacy systems. This company rarely keeps highly skilled talent because they get over worked due to other people’s incompetence. Majority of the IT team talks a big game but in reality they are novices at best. There is a serious diversity problem at Spok and it’s apparent as soon as you set foot in the offices, employees are treated as garbage if they are not part of the “IN” crowd. STAY CLEAR OF THIS PLACE...

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience at Spok fell short of your expectations, but we’re glad that you felt like you were receiving competitive pay in a flexible environment along the way. While turnover may have peaked during your brief tenure, we are thankful that our annual turnover in the highly competitive Minneapolis market remains below average. The majority of Spok’s hiring since December of 2015 resulted from new positions, added to support the development of all products, including the Care Connect Platform. You are correct that Spok continues to support a broad array of existing products while we expand and innovate. That’s because our healthcare customers all around the globe still rely on Spok to meet their existing communications needs and we are committed to doing so. At Spok, we promote, value and respect individual differences and make every effort to create an inclusive environment for all. We believe each employee deserves communication that inspires you, work challenges that stimulate you, and leaders who are open to your feedback and supportive of your needs. Again, we’re sorry that your experience fell short of our goals. We encourage our employees to reach out to the Human Resources team if there are issues so they can be dealt with swiftly and appropriately. As Spok continues to grow, we are constantly searching for ways to improve as a business and workplace. If you’d like to start a dialogue and provide more detailed information, please email me. Again, we appreciate your feedback and wish you the best in your future endeavors.
