Pros

- The community served is a pleasure to be around. Very rewarding. - Staff (NOT management) was also generally very good (even though turnover is so high).

Cons

- CEO Sheila Simmons is satan’s spawn. True narcissist. Lies, cheats, manipulates. Can be very charismatic but more so deceptive. Power trips, has no issue with falsifying documentation such as timesheets in order to avoid paying overtime, withholding benefits like the nonexistent 403B and PTO, and lashing out at individuals. - Board of Directors absolutely turns a blind eye to everything. - CMO Dr. Marvin Lewis has been disciplined by the NC Medical board on numerous occasions. Also narcissistic. Treats not only staff horribly but patients too. They are constantly complaining about his care, mentioning the most ridiculous things such as him taking personal calls during their appointments. It is hard to work under someone who is so negligent and unprofessional. - Extremely high turnover. Can’t blame people for leaving, but 25+ people leaving a year results in extreme instability. This results in often having to play numerous roles as an employee, without any additional compensation in pay. - Lack of communication in operations. You might randomly get called in the middle of the day to drive (in your own vehicle with your own gas) to a different location to cover. You may also put in PTO request 3-4 months in advance and only have it responded to 24-48 hours before scheduled time off. - No raises, no performance evaluations. You could do everything right, but breath the wrong way one day and you will get punished. - No administrative time.

Pros

It's a beautiful building and in a convenient location.

Cons

Toxic work environment driven by poor leadership. Management lacked empathy, transparency, and accountability, often creating a culture of bullying, dishonesty, intimidation, and favoritism. Employee concerns were dismissed, morale was low, and the environment felt emotionally draining rather than supportive or professional. If I could give it less than a zero I would.
