Pros
Team/coworkers Flexible PTO Personal satisfaction of helping a population in need of care (this accounts for 1 star alone in my rating)
Cons
First and foremost, this is a business first and a healthcare facility second. I was hired recently and underwent the usual 2 weeks of training before starting my duties. My entire team expressed immense gratitude for me being able to jump right into things given my previous experience. Sadly, that did not stop leadership from laying me off only 6 weeks into my employment (including the 2 weeks of training). I was assured it was purely a reduction in the company and not at all related to performance or compliance. Last in, first out as they say. This experience was like a whiplash; it ended as quickly as it started with absolutely no warning. I wish I had done more research myself into the company’s history of layoffs and turnover, so I hope whoever reads this will take notice of that. While they can’t tell you who else is being laid off, a quick search showed nobody is safe as I saw people who had been there for years and had been very active in promoting the company’s message to deliver care be laid off in the same way I was. Sadly I was unable to even so goodbye to coworkers as the meeting just appeared as a normal “Check-in” the morning of my termination (more like check-out in the end) and the instant the meeting started it kicked me out of all systems and communications. This was also unprofessional as my coworkers were unaware of the layoff and I was creating reports for them that were obviously never completed. The takeaway: Yes, this is a clinic that treats a population in need. Yes, the work is impactful and you can make a difference. But none of that will mean a single thing if they don’t keep you employed long enough to actually help people. And if you do manage to avoid the first wave of layoffs, you’ll always be on your toes about when it will happen again and if it could be you next.
