Pros
No Pros whatsoever with this company!!
Cons
TelaGen… I don’t know where to begin. They were super nice during the hiring process, training was fast and I was thrown out to the wolves due to another coworker requesting off. I was given multiple deviations(write ups basically) due to lack of training and being rushed. I asked to be retrained multiple times and finally after 7 months I got retrained. I was hired on for 6am-2pm (salary) without OT payment, and 40hr a week. Well that’s not true, they expect you to stay late, catch early cases, catch cases after you get off. It’s to the point most workers won’t even tell them if a late case is being added on because they will expect you to get it. If you don’t get it, be ready for some type of retaliation against you. They expect you breathe and live for TelaGen and nothing else, including your family. Management changes often, the company is being ran by a EMT that didn’t know how to open a hypo and didn’t know the umbilical cord had multiple veins. That surfaced due to him coming to train us on collecting blood. What a joke. I haven’t met not one person in management that’s honest at all. You ask a question, they dance around the answer/truth. You have some managers saying you don’t have to sit at the hospital and others saying you do. Complete mind games. They are always hiring due to management and how they treat their employees. They always think/accuse you of lying, interrogate you whenever they think you are without any solid proof. What sealed the deal for me was when one of my coworkers tested positive for Covid 19, she was instructed not to tell us, and not to tell the hospital(s) that she had exposed patients and newborn babies!! They did not send us to be tested nor did make us quarantine as we should’ve, instead we reported to work possibly exposing patients and newborn babies the very next day. Why would a company do that?!! Months later my child was exposed and I got a text asking will I be at work the next morning. I told my manager no because I didn’t want to responsible for possibly exposing patients and babies. She then asked for my proof of my child being tested. Which I provided. Had I not said no, she would’ve let come to work and expose other innocent people. Just sad and only concerned about the company. Basically as long as you are staying late, not questioning them, and jumping through hoops whenever they say, your job is safe. If not, be ready for all kind of deviations(write ups) & attitudes. I’ve witnessed a manager physically assault a employee in front of me, I’ve witnessed a manager verbally abuse a employee, and I’ve also seen a manager put her fingers in her ears to keep from hearing a employee out. Nothing was done about either one, all management are friends, the company is ran/operated by close friends as well. Please don’t allow that “$40k” salary to lure you in. It’s not $40k by the way. They advertise bonuses, you never get them, they the stipulations once you hit that quota for bonuses and you don’t get a penny. There isn’t any integrity within this company. You are expected to travel/bounce around to multiple hospitals without any compensation for doing so. They expect you to respond to them after work hours, no matter what. They’re not ok with coworkers actually being friends at work. If you are, that’s a problem. The list could go on!! If you’re looking for a peaceful work environment, understanding managers, integrity, and honesty, this is NOT the company for you!! Last but not least, they also falsified our drug screens that the hospitals require us to have before entering the hospitals.
