Patient-focused company with flexible work but poor communication

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits, most departments are flexible about hybrid working schedule as long as a minimum days/month is met. The company truly does put patients first in every decision.

Cons

Inconsistent messaging from leadership, sometimes it feels like leadership doesn’t take any input from employees, so processes are not efficient. Processes could definitely be improved across the board.
