Pros

Beautiful corporate mission to provide VIP care to seniors. For sure, the company makes a positive difference in the lives of patients. There are many kind and good people working at ChenMed. Chen Family seems to reflect beautiful values and a true passion for their mission (if only their employees really knew how to execute to make it so.)

Cons

Incredibly disorganized, management-heavy, shifting priorities, gross incompetence in middle management roles, micromanagers, wastefulness and unnecessary levels of management, mold to their cult-like, ra ra culture or else. Say only what managers want to hear, don’t even consider rocking the boat, not a place for disrupters or innovators, toxic culture, two-faced middle managers who say one thing and mean something entirely different, threatened by real-world industry knowledge, incredibly stressful, meeting-heavy, unpleasant culture, managers have no clue what real world project management looks like. Training is terrible! Hours on end in mind numbing Zoom meetings. Egos soothing and butts kissing absolutely required. Colleagues up all night trying to meet unrealistic deadlines set by managers who don’t have a clue. Employees terrified of losing their jobs if they say the wrong thing to the department head. Incredible amounts of waste every day.

Pros

Remote Work Flexibility: The ability to work from home offers a great work-life balance and a highly flexible day-to-day environment. Excellent Peers: The general staff and fellow employees are incredibly nice, professional, and great to collaborate with. There is a strong sense of peer-to-peer camaraderie.

Cons

Disrespectful Direct Management: My immediate supervisor frequently displays a disrespectful and condescending attitude toward direct reports. Constructive feedback is non-existent; instead, mistakes are met with public or private hostility rather than professional coaching. Complete Lack of Support: Management offers zero support when challenges arise. They provide no guidance or assistance leaving direct reports entirely on their own to figure things out.
