Pros
They pay you? Athena was a fantastic front desk employee. She was always helpful and polite and respectful.
Cons
When I was groped at work by a fellow coworker, I told management. From my perspective she was not reprimanded. She had a day or two off , and semi-apologized privately (it also seemed insincere). I was still forced to work with her throughout the rest of the time I was contracted there. When a majority of the staff abandoned me and a new hire got the end of the day, we were managed by an equal from another department on another floor. That technologist walked in and made assumptions; created havoc and reported falsehoods. Management had a departmental meeting the very next afternoon and stuck with the false accusations which were shown to be inaccurate and untrue by time-stamped Epic charting. I would talk about training, but does 30 minutes of showing how to do something with no explanation count? -No it does not. I was verbally accosted by a per diem technologist in front of a patient, and I was told I was wrong for doing my job. I was also told that I was pre-labeled as a liar by the per diem before I got into the department. Would I recommend working here- only if you’re a strong-charactered woman who has befriended the queen bees before interviewing- maybe.
