Cons of Working Here: Expensive, unreliable parking: Employees pay around $100 a month for parking, yet access is not guaranteed during special events — leaving staff without a spot despite paying for one. The cost of parking also increases every year. Gaslighting management culture: Leadership claims to support open communication, but when valid concerns are raised — especially regarding staff or patient safety — they often deflect and shift the blame onto the person speaking up. Extreme micromanagement: Oversight is so invasive, it feels like it's at the nano level — severely limiting employee autonomy and creating a hostile working environment. Harassment not taken seriously: Multiple staff members have reported similar harassment issues, yet management fails to address them with any urgency or transparency. Lack of communication: Significant departmental changes are made without notifying staff, resulting in confusion and frustration. Unauthorized timesheet changes: Timesheets have been altered without employee consent or knowledge — a serious breach of trust and professional ethics. Inconsistent enforcement of policy: Management frequently cherry-picks which policies to enforce, especially when it comes to disciplinary action. This creates a culture of favoritism and unequal treatment. Policies are vague and inaccessible: Even important policies, such as those involving disciplinary action (labeled “corrective action” on their website), are difficult to locate. Policies are often written as loose guidelines for management, leaving interpretation and enforcement entirely at their discretion — which leads to inconsistent, biased decision-making. Arbitrary rules and favoritism: Rules are often created or enforced under the vague excuse of “per department needs,” with no consistency or clarity. Bias in treatment is apparent, and staff questions are routinely ignored or dismissed. If you're looking for a fair, respectful, and transparent workplace — this may not be the environment for you.
