Horrific Senior Departmental Leadership Results in Fear of Retaliation

Business Outlook

Pros

The company strives to provide excellent patient therapies and has made great corporate strides over the past few years.

Cons

Some departments function on an environment of fear where senior departmental leaders are not held to the same standards as lower level employees, creating a toxic environment. Significantly constrained resources lead to unrealistic expectations and inability to meet established goals. Over the span of several years, it was my observation that HR does not support the employee and is swayed by political/managerial bias.
