Sonic Healthcare reviews

There is a lot of bad history that they are still recovering from. However the problems are still there. Some people do not do work or have a terrible attitude because there is no reward for hard work or being a good employee. The things you hear about at big companies like office politics, bullying, harassment, are all there. If your manager is part of the problem, or is incompetent, then the people that try to improve the company are targeted. People act like kids and are not professional but instead there is constant criticism, blaming, and back-stabbing. So basically if you do not follow along with the bad culture club and actually try to do your job, or worse try to change or improve things, then you will get into a lot of trouble. That is why there are some people who either do not work, or do very little, and just keep quiet.

The A/R Department: Low Moral, High School environment. Very serious about High School environment. Pay is average, as in 14-17 per hour. Raises are not based on individuality, but across the board, and lower than 2%. So ask yourself why "hard worker A" gets the same raise as "minimal worker B". Don't expect to come in and relax on the job. Stressful working environment due to lack of initiative from leads and management. It is the "just do what I said, or write up for you" mentality. You will be told to give inaccurate information to clients and patients (BY MANAGEMENT) in order to "preserve" the image of "good" service. Employees are asked to accomplish a very non-reachable daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly goal based on numbers. Read that again...based on numbers. You are demanded to produce 300 to over 500 accounts weekly, which is just insane numbers for the environment and available resources. You feel micro managed and insecure. Also, policies change on a whim and at will in the area of A/R. I had to leave based on lack of decent compensation vs the toxic atmosphere and overwhelming work goals. Bottom line, it's all about the money for them, not you.
