Great for Patients/Clients, Not so Much for Employees

Volunteer services coordinator

Business Outlook

Pros

Helping patients/clients/volunteers. Seeing patients improve. Connections with patients. Any and all things related to the patient improving, healing, becoming independent... Therapy techniques, creative methods for therapy, recreational ideas for patients/clients.

Cons

Lack of diversity, equity and inclusion. Low paying for any and all staff unless you're a Senior Management representative and/or a white employee. Minorities are paid properly or even given more opportunities to advance. Corporate culture needs help as it only cares about its reputation in the public and not actually doing what's right for its staff.

Hi, Thank you for sharing your comments. Over the past three years, we have conducted numerous compensation assessments resulting in organization-wide fair and equitable pay adjustments. You state "minorities are paid properly," so that's slightly confusing. Over the past year, we've realized a positive impact as a result of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council efforts. And we're looking forward to assessing the results of our currently active employee survey to continue our efforts in maintaining and encouraging a culture of employee engagement and satisfaction. Best regards, Shepherd Center Human Resources

Lack of Empathy of Management

Sci nurse

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The Staff was awesome, except for the management!

Cons

I had a few tragedies happen while employed there. My brother shot him self in the head and I missed some days to be there for my family! Then I developed an allergic reaction to a medication right before my shift and was fired on the spot. At the the time upper management was promoting compassion burnout and telling management that they needed to limit compassion for employees calling out to work. My situation deserved compassion and I did not deserve to be fired.
