Pros

When we had the Nuns and a really good CFO is was an amazing place to work. Encouraged to stay healthy with a great program. Management listened.

Cons

After 20 years I had several Mini Strokes. Had to be on FMLA. Neurologist cleared me to return with condition to work undisturbed for a month. I asked to work from home as many of my co-workers had. New Supervisor said no. It wasn't allowed. It was, but he had never worked in a hospital before. I had a Service Above Self Award, Recognized by the actual Sisters for Embracing and working within our Core Values and Mission Statement. Mostly Exceeds Expectations. Often covered or assisted with our Insurance Verification Specialist. Trained new staff. Trained my last Supervisor who was offended I knew more than him. He pulled me from Assisting our Insurance Verification Specialist and put me back on front desk. Where I had to order clinic/office supplies, create the schedules for our Pediatric Therapists, train new employees, cover phones for 2 floors, because the 3rd floor person he put there often turned off her phones. So as the only one trained to work both floors got the angry calls. Scheduled complex vists for Pediatrics, Neuro and Lymphedema. This had been done in back before due to the focus it required. I had loved my job. But that supervisor had me working off the clock. Trying to do jobs for 2 floors at the same time. He refused to let me return from FMLA, Denied my Accomodations, and forced me into early retirement. I wasn't old enough for either my Pension or SS. Denied SSDI because I wasn't disabled enough...which is why I tried to go back to work. I the end, we had to get a mortgage on our paid off house. 20 years of being a good employee gets you nothing.

Pros

coworkers pay supporting people in community They post the same job in multiple locations because they are open to having that role exist in different locations in many cases (note the pay is also based on where as well though) Info for those reading reviews to get a picture: I'm United States, but India reviews should really be separate feedback entirely, paid less and fed daily (read location: Hyderabad).

Cons

My last management was completely toxic Had health issues and a valid claim that was ignored, only pressured Was pushed out by my management when they found out my salary Mgmt requested to submit feedback for improvement, then retaliated Since HR was outsourced and trying to protect the company from further lawsuits (I was not one but contemplated due to validity) of absolutely no help and honestly, completely inappropriate. You will be repeatedly asked to provide feedback, but it will be killed with a 1 on 1. If I had laid down and taken the angry repercussions of their poor process implementation, and their complete lack of accountability, I would still be there - I just would have transferred to another manager. Some managers and teams are more toxic than others, but favoritism and bullying are allowed and seen Overworked and under-represented but was great for several years.
