American Nurses Association Reviews

From reading the reviews, it looks like this place hasn't changed in the last 2 years. It was the worst company that I have ever worked for. All of the other reviews about the culture and higher management bullying is very true. I have never experienced more manipulative bullying and backstabbing at any other "professional" environment than I did working here. Too many unnecessary procedures and meetings that takes up time to actually get work done. The only place I have ever been reprimanded for working overtime (even though I was salary) to get tasks completed. The department that I was in made you document what mistakes you made (from little to large) on a spreadsheet with everyone else. They claim it is to document corrective action and to learn from mistakes. It is actually a document that is easily used against you if you get on the wrong side of your manager. Too many layers to get anything approved and too many people making decisions with different interests that cause fighting between departments. It becomes like a territory war within a company all under one roof. The turnover rate is unbelievable, no consistency. Tons of surveys and focus groups that have no results other than discussing the obvious issues. Belonging to a mandatory union (and paying dues) is suppose to help the employees. They just sit and try to mediate with HR on serious issues but it is always in the managers favor. Even when the Union and HR openly disagree with managers their hands seem tied. The stress level is so high is actually starts affecting your physical and mental health. During my exit from ANA, the union even reached out to me to see if I was suicidal because of the harassment I was experiencing. I was told that "It wouldn't be the first time that we have had to deal with suicidal employees." Well, there is your sign that something is seriously wrong with this company.... I have so much PTSD from the ANA experience that I have completely left the field that I was an expert in to start a new career in another field so I do not ever have to go through that again. If you accept a position with this company after reading all of these reviews, you can't say you haven't been warned.

Absolute joke of a work environment. Every manager seems to be a bully giving no type of real leadership or direction to their team. Everyone talks about each other behind their back. Terrible chemistry and work morale to suffer through each day. CEO stepped down, probably to avoid this major headache. Have never seen so many grown adults operate like high schoolers. Negative energy everywhere you turn. They try to hide it with the pot lucks, culture transformation, values, etc. If you are a minority, you’d better enjoy significantly lower pay, positions, and be looked down on. They have managers and supervisors in place who have no idea what leadership or developing talent requires. If you look at the top you’ll see similar faces and many things in common.
