Pros
At my time at this position, I enjoyed working with an excellent and passionate medical team to assist walk-in patients at the wellness clinic in Austin. The healthcare team was very welcoming and helpful when it came to my position. I liked helping folks from underserved communities with HIV prevention, PrEP initiation/monitoring, and STI prevention. I was constantly thanked by many patients for my assistance, knowledge, and STI educating practices in helping them with sx health.
Cons
What made this position difficult was the lack of support and communication from upper management (directors and assistant directors). Furthermore, at my location, senior management was difficult to work with. I experienced micromanagement, lack of training, and lack of education about my position and what my responsibilities were in that role. There was lack of clear direction with my role, and on top of that, the clinic I was hired for was not going to be built out for about 1 year. I did my research before I took my position and checked employee online reviews and they seemed helpful. However, my experience was completely the opposite and misleading. I recommend folks steer clear of AHF for good reasons because the lack of empathy towards employees from management, lack of good training, and lack of clear definition of roles with this organization.
