Their website does not reflect how they treat their workers

Pros

my direct supervisor was very kind

Cons

they only gave us sick leave after a year, and that was only because everyone complained. They never provided more than 2 weeks maternity leave (for a company that works on health that is shameful) and zero paternity leave.

Pros

As an organization, I really felt PHI cared about it's employees personally and professionally. Pay was very good if you knew to negotiate, and raises came yearly. Benefits were excellent, though fairly expensive if relying on them for a family. As an employee, you pay into SDI, so I was able to take nice long maternity leaves. In my position, I was not micromanaged, yet at times there was a complete lack of guidance...especially when I first started. I had zero introduction to my job duties or expectations. Though I had to aggressively advocate for my promotions, it was worth it to work with some very seasoned and talented staff who taught me a lot.

Cons

- Faily expensive benefits - At times, too little guidance from supervisor - Not enough oversight of senior management at our site; many complaints about Program Director after numerous staff were mistreated, yet seemed like HR was unaware
