Pros

The day I got fired for doing nothing wrong and my manager couldn't even tell me why she fired me. It was a blessing in disguise because I had major anxiety and stress from this employer and experience. It is truly amazing how a company that claims to be doing good in this world is so tainted with bad upper management and a negative company culture.

Cons

Where do I even start....what I am sharing on my review is how EVERY single recovery tech feels. I know because we had a private group text to vent to and support one another. Their job posting is 100% BS. Great company culture - they are delusional. There is absolutely no culture at this company, let alone anything resembling or feeling great. The salary $40K-$75K is BS. Every tech makes a base of $40K and is promised that if you work really really hard, you will get bonuses. There bonus structure only favors technicians that work at hospitals that crank out c-sections. Only 3 techs earned bonuses and even then it was no where near $75K. They will hire you for one of two shifts (either 6AM-2PM or 2PM-10PM). However, they will require and insist that you monitor all texts, calls, emails after your shift. If you do not answer management within 2 minutes or less (no exaggeration), they start acting and texting like a psycho ex. They are very unprofessional and try to belittle you constantly (even if you are doing a good job). They act like they own you. My manager wouldn't even let me bring water to drink when I had to sit at the hospital for my entire 8 hour shift with literally no recoveries. This job could be an on-call position. With most hospitals being far from their corporate office, managers would sneak into town to try to "catch" techs. My manager was also extremely racist. I cannot recall how many times I heard her use the 'N' word. She would also talk about techs to other techs. They will also fire you with no rhyme or reason. I still don't know why I was fired. My co-worker was fired for not taking out the trash, which wasn't even full. Another co-worker (our top tech) was pregnant and missed a recovery case. The manager has never managed anyone in her life. She was previously a secretary and somehow this company thought it was a good idea to let her manager over 30 techs. They also installed surveillance cameras in every office so they can spy on everyone. My manager would make inappropriate comments to me about how she loved to watch this one particular office cam so she could see a certain male tech "strut his stuff." They also cut vacation time because they were missing out on money by missing recoveries. They do not offer opportunities for raises. They do not let you come in late even though you worked late. They are not employee friendly. It was like I was in an emotionally and verbally abusive relationship for the entire 16 months. I HIGHLY recommend to any job seekers to AVOID this company at all costs.
