Pros

It pays the bills, close to home.

Cons

Bosses are awful-liars, bullies, “my stuff doesn’t stink” attitude. Rank and file employees treated like garbage.

Athena Health Care Systems Response

Athena has a strong record of success in southern New England, since 1984. Although Athena has acquired additional centers over the past few years, we have only expanded in geographical areas with an existing Athena footprint, to not stretch our team too thin. Our expansion has served to strengthen our centers and fortify our financial stability. Because of this, we believe our managed centers are a better place for residents to live, patients to stay and employees to work. Additionally, Athena has an established grievance procedure for employees who feel their concerns have not been sufficiently addressed at the center level. We invite all employees to utilize this (via mail, email and phone access) and communicate this is several ways.

Pros

I've worked in both the facility and the corporate office. Pros of the facility: great people to work with. Pros of corporate: NONE.

Cons

Be aware: please take my advice, as well as the 14 or so of the other negative reviews on here about Athena, and don't walk...RUN from this place. Do not work here! The corporate owners/CEO/SEO etc are all in it for themselves. They do not care about the employees in the homes, nor do they care about the residents and their families. They are very paranoid, and always must have the upper hand and control on what happens in the homes, leaving little point for the department director to handle anything on their own. The corporate office rules everything. I mean, corporate directors who are being called by angry family members purposely don't take the call or return the call because they simply don't want to be bothered to handle the situation! They keep purchasing new homes, promising raises, but they're just empty lies. Raises will never occur with all the new buying they're doing and pocketing all the money for themselves. If you're an RN, do yourself a huge favor and go to a nursing home that is not run by Athena, or go to a hospital because the starting rate of pay with this place is literally a slap in the face. I witnessed an RN come in looking for a job and when she was told how much the starting pay was her eyes bugged out of her head and she said "wait, what?!" and legitimately said "I can make way more than that elsewhere" and decided not to apply. I can go on and on. But really, ask yourself, do you REALLY want to work for a company that treats their employees like garbage, constantly ignore you and your requests, and NEVER get a raise all to just watch this company "grow?" All in all, there really is no positive thing to say about this company. You're better off working anywhere but here...

Pros

Great co-workers with a well-equipped working environment.

Cons

Poor managerial decisions lead to constant shifts in leadership, over-staffing with employees encouraged to clock out early and/or use PTO for contracted hourly pay. Provide adequate training in computer use and allow sufficient time for a learning curve before pushing productivity rates over quality work.
