Pros

The work environment offers interesting projects and great opportunities to grow professionally

Cons

However, the management is weak and often disorganized, leading to internal confusion, lack of clear priorities, and inefficient workflows. Unfortunately, the leadership style undermines the otherwise great potential of the teams.

Pros

Challenging work if you apply yourself, Great learning environment with ever changing needs, Good benefits

Cons

See a lot of people at corporate (Irvine) that do not do the work to support their title and pull over the other sites. A lot of employees with experience and work ethic are overlooked based on degrees, unfortunately with a lot of them leaving taking their experience with them. Expected to put work before anything else, and the expectation for learning, and checking off corporate SOPs ends with after hours to do work unrelated to the better of the company or patient. Lean teams are creating burn out, with overlook of those that are not "pulling their weight". Be a good boy/girl, keep your head down, be friends with the "right" people, and you will be fine. Honestly, you don't even have to do much work, just have a degree and don't cause a fuss and you will be the next Director!
