Pros

They pay well and have good benefits.

Cons

This place is the worst place I have ever worked and it is shame because it has a good mission. The problem is there is a culture of bullying and unprofessionalism. I think the problem is a few people who started when this was a small family managed clinic grew into leadership positions they can't handle as the one clinic grew to one of the largest networks in SoCal. I watched senior leadership over and over plot against newcomers (with much more experience and expertise) and spend most of their time stirring up drama. Staff is very divided by cliques and behavior found within the walls of the corporate seemed more indicative to middle school playgrounds. This translated into a culture of bullying and inappropriate behavior (extremely racist and sexist) among all levels and departments. They really need to a controlled burn because this place is two steps away from a class action lawsuit. I know of many people who were pushed out by questionable tactics. The turnover is as high as the level of unhappiness of the employees.

Pros

HMO insurance is pretty good.

Cons

Everything else. Pay is below average. The leadership simply doesn't care about bottom line employees. Nepotism runs rampant at the top. CEO and CAO are married. Bunch of other c level execs are sons, daughters, cousins or nephews. The family tree would shock you. If you're not a de la Rocha or Escobar, don't expect great things. We have top level leaders like the CAO, who demands people to show up to the office or she doesn't trust you... Yet blocks her calendar to study for school remotely. The hypocrisy is jaw dropping. There is so much disconnect between what the company needs to move forward vs the desires and the wishes of Castulo and Zoila. Their idea for increased retention is to preach the good ol days. That gospel will not make this an "employer of choice." The 5 star reviews on this are fake and done by the comm department. I recognize their writing style. Some are obviously sarcastic. My goal is to achieve a good answer to the interview question "so tell me a time you had to overcome a negative working experience." And man, I'll have pages and pages of cited references and stories.

Pros

weekends off lots of holidays next to the Citadel outlets

Cons

Don't drink the koolaid!! This place is the most toxic environment I have ever been a part of. I am shocked that so many people love this place. There is no work/life balance and if you choose to go home at 5pm to be with your family, you are treated like a slacker. People with true talent and potential are not given the opportunity to thrive unless you suck up to your boss and do what you are told with no questions. Even then, half the managers/supervisors are in their position by default refuse to change. There are people with MBA's working at secretaries and people with community college AA heading departments because they have "been there from the start." There are so many laws being broken in regards to HIPPA, Labor laws, EEOC, employment laws and so many more but HR turns a blind eye to it because they don't want to rock the boat and get a long time employee in trouble. If you want a place where you can work 8-5, get a paycheck and be miserable, then this is the place for you. If you want to advance in your career, RUN AWAY FAST!!
