      Toxic management makes for a nightmare workplace

      Patient access representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Hours when they are available.

      Cons

      I have worked in Sentara Leigh’s Emergency Room. Registration department. It was an absolute nightmare. Toxic management. You have to ask to go to the bathroom. I was treated with such disrespect from management who yelled at me in front of other staff. They like to take vacations and come back to look for reasons to write you up. All the hours you want. You just have to tolerate disrespect from management. You are made to know you are not a valued employee here. If you have any mental health or hard life issues here you are gone.

      Competitive pay and benefits, but poor management issues

      Cytotechnologist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Cytotechnologists here are compensated more competitively than at other hospitals in the area. The organization offers excellent benefits, including generous PTO, sick time, and maternity leave. Depending on your role within the department, there may also be opportunities to support other Sentara hospitals, providing additional variety and experience. Additionally, the cytotechnologists in the department are wonderful colleagues and a pleasure to work with.

      Cons

      The management within the Cytology department is highly disappointing. While the initial hiring experience is positive, the treatment by management tends to change quickly afterward. There appears to be noticeable favoritism, which contributes to a challenging work environment. Additionally, cytotechnologists often feel limited in their ability to seek other opportunities due to the specialized nature of the field and the lack of local job options, leading many to remain in the position despite ongoing dissatisfaction. There is a lack of transparency, with staff often left unaware of important happenings within the pathology, histology, and cytology department.
