Pros
Sentara has a wonderful culture, a plethora of resources and fast pace. The benefits offered are top notch. Sentara is big on patient care and the team members go above and beyond. I thought this would be where I retired.
Cons
There are currently many vacant HR positions due to voluntary terminations, this has caused additional stress for team members. If you are interviewing for a position probe to find out the reason behind the vacancies. When HR cannot keep team members there's a bigger problem. The HR culture is toxic because of senior HR leadership. The HR department lacks diversity among the senior leadership team. Employees have a hard time getting HR needs addressed due to the time it takes for outdated processes behind the scenes. I loved the company but I was unable to work in the fear based environment created at the top. The HR team does not align with Sentara's innovation, fast pace and customer focus. Massive changes need to be made, specifically at the senior leadership level, for HR to be a desirable place to work.
