Pros

Aya Healthcare used to be a great company where you felt like they cared about you, at least on the surface. Now it’s clear that what they care about most is their profit margins. From spending millions for the Vegas party in November to announcing no lay offs were going to happen to now endless layoffs, pressure to hit unrealistic goals in a saturated market with declining rates by working on weekends and nights, and being discouraged to take already approved time off. Top down leadership styles, and treating you like you’re a number who is highly expendable. Churn and burn remote environment that feels like a sweatshop. PIPs happening left and right. A company shows its true colors when they aren’t performing well and employees are blamed without any responsibility on management practices or leadership styles. This company generates 566 million a year and decides to invest in its image more than its people. Must like to drink corporate kool aid to work here or be in the top 1%. Cares more about profit margins than the nurses they claim to serve.

Cons

No work life balance Discouraged to take approved time off Profit is more important than people Encouraged to work nights and weekends High pressure to meet unrealistic expectations No regard for mental wellbeing just numbers Increasingly corporate

Pros

I love working at Aya. I’m motivated to help staff hospitals across the country to bring healthcare to everyone. It’s not perfect, but people DO care about you. I have a rare perspective where I work across many teams including leadership, compliance and operations (as little old admin, bottom of the totem pole) and I have not witnessed the toxic workplace environment some people mention here. People are respectful and the subject of employee satisfaction is always top of mind. I’ve been at Aya for many seasons. Is it the same as COVID? No it’s not. but it was a pandemic and we’re a healthcare staffing company. You don’t want our business to boom like that again, it would mean tons of people are sick and hospitals aren’t staffed. Layoffs were awful and I miss my coworkers that were asked to leave. but the business changed after Covid and demand isn’t the same across the entire industry, not just at Aya Pros: Remote Positive work environment Unlimited PTO Fun events Beautiful office with free food Great coworkers DEI-forward with commitment to equality TLDR: layoffs suck but you don’t want infinite exponential growth in healthcare Expectations are high, but the environment is good and work-life balance is amazing

Cons

Pay is decent but not competitive with tech Growing pains
