Inova reviews

Senior leadership is detached, unaware of what is happening in the gemba. The organization got too lean several years back and is now scrambling to recover. Pay is abysmal, non competitive, and well below grade for the DC area. The benefits package offered through Aetna Innovation is more expensive and provides less coverage for their own Inova employees versus other groups. Example, my husband works for Fairfax County Public Schools and we get Inova owned Aetna Innovations high family coverage through FCPS - overall cost is lower, and benefits (percentages out of pocket and deductibles, copays, etc.) are better. This is an area where Inova should be very embarrassed that as the largest healthcare system in NoVa., they are not taking care of their own employees.

It was a discouraging and negative unit that I worked on. My experience working on the Oncology unit of Fairfax Medical Campus turned out negative and discouraging. The managers and workers on the unit were unsupportive, negatively judgmental, carried on non work related conversations in the overnight shifts, complained non-stop which aroused additional unneeded stress and pressure, and the managers did not provide a fair chance for colleague's concerns to be heard or implement changes. At one point, my gut feeling told me this is enough. I continued to feel pushed down working here. I will never recommend working on this unit to clinical technicians. Please try to work in a more positive unit of Inova, as Inova overall, is highly reputable and positive place to work and grow.
