      Friendly atmosphere, but disorganization and job insecurity prevail

      Pros

      Remote work, friendly staff, decent pay.

      Cons

      Disorganized, difficult to get what you need to do your job, Upper management does not care about their staff and push ideas through that do not work, even though staff advised them it was a bad idea. There are also regular mass layoffs, so your job is never secure.

      Competitive pay and benefits, but poor management issues

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Cytotechnologists here are compensated more competitively than at other hospitals in the area. The organization offers excellent benefits, including generous PTO, sick time, and maternity leave. Depending on your role within the department, there may also be opportunities to support other Sentara hospitals, providing additional variety and experience. Additionally, the cytotechnologists in the department are wonderful colleagues and a pleasure to work with.

      Cons

      The management within the Cytology department is highly disappointing. While the initial hiring experience is positive, the treatment by management tends to change quickly afterward. There appears to be noticeable favoritism, which contributes to a challenging work environment. Additionally, cytotechnologists often feel limited in their ability to seek other opportunities due to the specialized nature of the field and the lack of local job options, leading many to remain in the position despite ongoing dissatisfaction. There is a lack of transparency, with staff often left unaware of important happenings within the pathology, histology, and cytology department.

      Pros

      Great company atmosphere. Awesome team dynamics and flexible work schedule (hybrid). Pay is competitive and benefit package is great. Overall, I highly recommend this employer. Great leadership team as well. It's important to enjoy who you work for.

      Cons

      Can be stressful at times but not really a "con" more of an expectation in the real world.
