We’re so sorry this was your experience. As a fast-growing company, periods of organized chaos may feel like dysfunction but they are necessary as we get clear and aligned to prepare for tremendous growth. We recognize that’s not for everyone. Our leaders, many who have 20+ years’ experience, strive to be transparent and communicate clear expectations. We also have a well-defined framework for setting expectations and communicating. Our company goals are clearly defined and how we will execute is shared throughout our teams. If there’s more we can do to close this gap for our people or this is related to specific teams, we would love to hear so we can learn and improve. Please reach out to our HR team at sparkon@lifespark.com.

Pros

Good boots-on-the-ground co-workers who really want to help.

Cons

Most of the data engineering team quit primarily due to poor management. They don't let you onboard, and God help you if you actually want to share your real opinions of how they're running this place. Glad to be gone. If you're a woman or PoC, RUN!

Pros

Some good people on the team

Cons

Inept management. They treat everyone like a nurse on a hospital shift, without listening to how a position is usually handled.

Sorry to hear this was your experience. We haven’t had any employees in spiritual care leave our team so we’re not clear on what this situation you mention refers to. We take our employee experience seriously and so far have had wonderful experiences within our newly formed hospice team. We’d love to talk with you to understand better your experience so we can learn and take action from it. Please reach out to our Chief People Officer, Jill Hackenmueller directly at 952-345-8770.
