Pros
Attracts people who are compassionate and bright. Can really make a difference in peoples lives and serve people who are often overlooked in care. VERY diverse work environment, welcomes people of all races, sexual orientation etc. Provides good vacation benefits.
Cons
Does not seem to appreciate employees especially if they question management. CEO is very disrespectful to employees, will berate them in front of their peers, or to their face. Have heard him call staff " lazy , ungrateful, stupid." and not privately in front of their peers. Does not play well with other non profits, or AIDS services organizations which can make it difficult to coordinate or use all the resources available to patients. . Has attitude of providers being disposable, cannot accomplish much if we do not have providers or staff. Thousands of patients currently without healthcare providers in LA. Is keeping patients and staff in the dark about staffing claims that it is due to providers wanting more money and can't compete because they are a nonprofit but somehow has money to put billboards in city to fund shame based marketing, force condoms in porn, lobbying and fight high rises in Hollywood. Marketing about sexual health is very shame based, we should focus on engaging patients in care not placing judgment on their sexual health practices.
