Not A Safe Environment For Non-White Employees

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Employees are able to choose their hours. Taking time off is an easy process. The actual work itself, is great.

Cons

There’s very little to no diversity. A very large percentage of employees are white, even new hires are all white, no mix. Reporting anything to HR results in more poor treatment. HR is more concerned with silencing an employee rather than fixing the problem. A senior has bullied multiple people out of the company and no one complains, because they don’t feel safe. Management is friends with the senior and have always protected them. Non-white employees have endured countless discrimination and have been cast out from the team. There’s been multiple incidents where other employees have made rude comments to nonwhite employees during team meetings with management present, Both times management was present, saw what happened but neither stepped in to correct it. Voicing concerns about the work process and things to do for improvement aren’t welcomed. Issues addressed years ago, still remain unresolved.

Pros

I get a paycheck every 2 weeks

Cons

Does not value employees clearly as we were just sent an email from the CEO that we get no bonus this year, and we are already severely underpaid compared to comparable positions at other companies I haven't switched just because of the years of service I have in but may be the time now

No regard for anyone outside nursing

Pharmacy technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lead tech does her best to keep her staff happy but even she is being worn down and not able to help with any employee issue.

Cons

Underpaid. Overworked. High turnover. Worthless management. Pharmacy director was working from home and lying about it, saying she was traveling between the two facilities daily. Supervisory staff will NOT step in when shifts need covered, techs are expected to pick up 100% of them, and if not, low man on the totem pole is assigned the shift. Company has no regard for anyone outside nursing. They stopped paying departments outside nursing for overtime so they could AFFORD to pay the nurses when they can’t do ANYTHING themselves. The whole place is crumbling, spare yourself the headache and look for employment elsewhere. If you’re not willing to be a yes man, you’ll get bullied out. If you’re a hard worker, they’ll coddle the lazy one. Do you like spending time with your family? Sucks. You’ll never go to another family event again. Want to promote? You won’t because you were never drinking buddies with the director. They make sure they have extra time off for the holidays yet when someone calls off they don’t step in as any other management team would be expected to. Worst. Job. I’ve. Ever. Had.
