Great until it wasn’t

Registered nurse

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Staffing was okay - advancement in careers (certs, clinical ladder) - student loan reimbursement/payment benefit

Cons

- discriminatory towards lgbtq+ (i’ve noticed several employees were either terminated or put on leave) - asking for more for the clinical ladder (more work OUTSIDE of work) - ‘clique-ish’ and there is a lot of ‘politics’ in terms of assignments/write-ups - HR doesn’t not really address issues aside from termination to protect the company.

A terrible company for Pharmacy talent.

Pharmacist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay was adequate for the DMV area.

Cons

Pharmacy leadership is unethical and solely focused on moving themselves up the ladder and securing whatever kind of bonus ($$$) they can. The culture and mission values of the company are completely soulless and read like some sort of garbage HR buzzword bingo board. They spent MILLIONS of dollars rebranding the entire health system with a ridiculous logo that looks like 2 people yelling at each other yet there are departments that are horrendously understaffed. My former colleagues and I collected data and spent literal years trying to convince management to make changes with faulty processes and workflows but they simply could not be reasoned with. They will only allocate department resources in a way that contributes to them receiving some sort of bonus that apparently only leadership gets. Not to worry though, on employee appreciation day you'll probably get some poor quality t-shirt with the new company logo on it.
