Needs an HR department

Pros

I get to help cancer patients

Cons

This company needs an HR department. You can never locate them, they don’t return emails, no one knows where they work (do they have desks somewhere?) everyone including managers are scared to report anything to them because they cover everything up for readership (marital affairs, harassment, directors being drunk at work etc) and tells them who said what. We then face retaliation and they start trying to get us to quit. They are never in office. I’ve been here for years and couldn’t tell you once of there names. No one even knows what they do besides conduct layoffs and payroll. They just rolled out a new company to do our payroll and gave us little instruction and won’t respond to our questions. I thought their big new boss was gonna clean it up. The last zoom meeting I saw them in they told us we needed to develop ourselves. We thought we were getting HR but all they do is training and refuse to help us even though they actually get to work with HR. I just need someone whose job it is to care about employees. I can’t even find an employee handbook. Come on people.

Pros

Patient stories made it all worthwhile. I truly believed we were helping

Cons

Mission and values became compromised and employees were reduced to a $60M value on the balance sheet. They let go some of the most fantastic and devoted people I’ve ever known. I wanted to retire here. C-suite employees and upper execs started leaving and it was a red flag that I ignored.

Pros

Start up company, patient population served.

Cons

Technology is novel, but results are no better than current treatments. Culture is non-transparent. Management is lackluster at best especially at the sales/marketing level. Interviewing process is very long and drawn out. Device company? It's really a DME. Physicians extremely hesitant with product viability. Not trusting of Senior management.
