Disappointing.

Pros

The concept is good and there is an industry need.

Cons

Lack of vision. Company has been doing the same thing for 25 years. Healthcare industry has changed, and is changing rapidly. Competitors have brought in additional services and product lines, allowing for bundling and savings. High turnover. The entire executive team (save one or two) has turned over in the last 12-18 months. The rest of the company has not faired better with key individuals leaving at an alarming rate. Management style. Be ready for micromanagement. While accountability is what is said, which is great and in concept sounds wonderful. Be ready to have to say the date and time a project will be completed and if you say 5pm without the CTS, you are corrected. If you happen to miss the deadline, send the email at 5:05pm instead of 5pm that is unacceptable and you will hear about it. Results don’t matter, the ability to have the tracking system on your laptop say you worked 8 hours that day is what’s important, and yes you will be asked about long breaks without computer activity. So you should be ready to wiggle your mouse while on those phone calls. CEO. My way or the highway mentality. Unrealistic growth goals in a shrinking market. Sole focus on margin and shareholder value, privately held so he’s the only shareholder, vs doing what’s right for the customer. Lack of trust and vision within his own leadership team.

Thank you for more than 5-7 years with us. We are glad we were your employer of choice for so many years and thank you for your contributions. It’s true the Executive management team has experienced turnover (The Great Resignation) but we are thrilled with the contributions we are seeing from the new talent. Their energy, enthusiasm and results have been outstanding. Fresh ideas and new perspectives have a way of energizing an organization. It’s also true we have been doing the same thing for 25 years. Not the same way of course, but that singular focus is a tremendous advantage for us in a competitive market. Deadlines are arbitrary at some companies, but our customers deserve better. Being late isn’t acceptable and “hearing about it” is how we define accountability. We respect that for some, that’s micromanagement. Our CEO encourages fierce conversations where everyone’s voice is heard but admittedly doesn’t lead by consensus. After an issue is processed, a decision is made, and everyone is expected to pull on the rope in the same direction. Thank you again for your post and we wish you well.

Pros

Variety in the day Some good coworkers (you’d sure hope so)

Cons

The leadership is honestly the worst I have encounter in my entire career. Multiple allegations for sexual harassment, horrible working conditions for Waterhouse workers, honestly sub par pay to start with and no ability to increase that by much due to preference given to local/in person workers. I would never wish this on a person - you will go in bright (hopefully) and leave burnt out.. so hard to watch and it truly breaks my heart for anyone that ends up here.

Hello. Naturally, I am disappointed to read your perspective. It is a rare perspective indeed and is not shared by many. As for our warehouse colleagues, they are our bread-and-butter core of the business-and we realize that. With market-driven pay, temperature controlled and spotless work environment, promotional opportunities within, a single work shift, we believe it as a more fair assessment of our culture and workplace experience to say our high retention rate and average tenure of close to 5 years, are some true barometers rather than isolated and unsubstantiated comments.
