Serious capability challenges from Manager, through Director to Exec level manifested by terrible engagement scores, significant staff turnover and a culture on it's knees. Conduct from Managers, Directors and SVPs is selfish: there's a focus on "make myself look good" or at least "don't make myself look bad". And when under pressure or my position is threatened, "make sure I'm nowhere near the fallout"

This is a company who's entire business is based in the fact that people get sick but has no tolerance when employees or their families get sick. If you're sick you have to take a vacation day. If your toddler has a fever and won't be accepted at daycare you have to take a vacation day. If your spouse has surgery and you need to bring them home from the hospital you have to take a vacation day. It's impossible to work here and take care of a family. Front-line people and women especially are forced to use their vacation days to look after their children. Benefits are poor. High deductible, dental is only 80%. Cost of mandatory participation has risen dramatically while the coverage has declined shockingly. There is no career path. There is 0 prospect for promotion. Chaotic organization with poor project management and poor execution. Managers represent the ideas of their direct reports as their own. Management is often so ignorant of the work going on that their requests and demands don't make any sense and underlings have to sort things out for them or take on parts of the manager's role in order to get things done. Managers don't assume responsibility - culture is largely based on having scapegoats and throwing people under the bus. Rampant disrespect towards colleagues and direct reports. No cafeteria. Bosses collect donations for retirement gifts to senior management but don't bother for lower class workers. Site supervisors use patient examination rooms as offices and go in and out at leisure while a patient is undergoing a testing procedure!
