Cons
I had the unfortunate experience of working with Weatherby Healthcare and I must say it was not a pleasant working environment. This company's appalling culture and complete disregard for work/life balance left me feeling utterly disappointed and drained. If you value your mental well-being and personal life, stay away from this company. Their management direction is - if you tell people they are being treated fairly and given work/life balance, they will eventually believe it. It's evident Weatherby had a toxic work environment. The management team seemed more interested in pushing their own agendas than supporting their employees. There was an overwhelming lack of transparency, with information kept from employees, leading to confusion and frustration among the workforce. They push KPI metrics and margin, which makes sense for a staffing company but management is not able to lead without fear and threatening practices. The entire executive team has a "do as I say, not as I do attitude." The so-called "culture" is all fake - it's smoke and mirrors. Employees were pitted against each other, fostering an unhealthy competitive atmosphere. Rather than encouraging collaboration and mutual growth, the focus was solely on price gouging clients and unrealistic KPIs, resulting in a cutthroat environment that left everyone feeling isolated and anxious. Price gouging is common practice, and in some cases, Weatherby is making as much as the physicians from an assignment. Poor communication, incorrect information and overall bad business practices happens with regularity for both physicians and clients. Moreover, the work/life balance at Weatherby was an absolute joke. Despite promising a flexible schedule, it was clear they expected us to put the company before family and self well-being. Management regularly demanded more without any regard for our personal lives, causing undue stress and negatively impacting our well-being. It's a churn and burn company with decent benefits to shine up a turd. It was evident that the company prioritized profit over employee welfare. Our concerns and feedback were brushed aside, and any attempts to discuss work/life balance were met with resistance and apathy. The company's leadership seemed to think that squeezing every drop of productivity from their workforce was the only path to success, without recognizing the toll it took on our mental and physical health. If a leader feels they can advance themselves by coaching and disciplining an employee they will do it. However, If you're a culture fit you should be safe, while good people leave and the company re-assigns their business to others. They reward fakeness and anyone who plays along with the culture masquerade. Furthermore, there was a complete lack of support for professional growth and development. This is a dead end job for most. Instead of investing in their employees' skills and abilities, Weatherby preferred to hire new employees rather than nurturing existing talent within the organization. This lack of investment further exacerbated the already toxic culture and contributed to a high turnover rate. Staffing has a high turnover rate as it is but Weatherby has such a monumental turnover rate and poor engagement scores I don't know how anyone in upper management is still employed. In summary, my time at Weatherby was a disheartening and draining experience. The toxic culture, poor work/life balance, and lack of support for employee growth were all too apparent. I strongly advise anyone considering working with this company to think twice and seek opportunities elsewhere. They will bleed you dry and dispose of you without any remorse. Your mental health and personal life are worth far more than the misery you'll find at Weatherby.
