Great team, decent company, terrible middle management

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart, motivated team (staff level). Decent support for improvement initiatives from hospital leadership. Employees are well-resourced, when Inova isn’t pretending to be poor due to self-inflicted financial wounds.

Cons

I believe that Dr. Jones genuinely believes all the patient first/teamwork/rah rah stuff, and if that actually translated to the frontline workers, things would be great. But there is little oversight on the AVP/director level management to ensure alignment with those goals; many of the leaders are holdovers from the prior, much more punitive regime, and nothing was done to help them transition from the dark side. No training, audits, nothing. Any complaints and specific examples of mismanagement are hushed up by HR. Our team had near 100% turnover in the last four years and there has been zero investigation into why.

Pros

Good benefits. That’s literally it.

Cons

From the moment you clock in to the minute you clock out you are on the phone taking call after call with not a second to breathe in between. Expect to be abused by patients every day and called every name in the book. Extreme micro management. Underpaid for the stuff that you have to deal with and the amount of work you are doing. They also won’t considering moving you up to team lead or supervisor unless you do overtime regularly and work in different departments, even if you have been there for years.

Pros

Engage in remote work with limited oversight.

Cons

This is absolutely infuriating! I cannot believe the abysmal level of compensation they offer. It is simply impossible to make ends meet with such a pitiful wage. On top of that, they have the audacity to demand hard work without any recognition or reward. I am completely flabbergasted by the sheer unfairness of it all.
