Pros
The people who work here are dedicated, passionate people who truly care about the work they are doing for patients and the community. You will learn a lot while working here about the barriers that many New Yorkers face in accessing quality healthcare. If you take that information to heart and are willing to meet patients where they are at, working here will make you a better provider and give you a much more nuanced understanding of how to reach people and provide care.
Cons
This company laid off dozens of workers during the middle of a pandemic and took over two months to provide any guidance on healthcare benefits that would be available to former employees after being laid off. Many of these employees are parents and older folks who are in critical need of benefits (as everyone is!) at this scary time. The company argued that the severance was “better than most people are getting at this time.” While this may be true, it is clear that the savings that this company made were due to laying off some of its lowest-paid and vulnerable employees (there is no evidence that its top paid administrative employees or board members took any substantial cut to try to save these jobs). For a healthcare company that claims to value community health so much, their actions say otherwise.
