Boston Public Health Commission

Is this your company?

This place has awful supervisors and managers. They are not leaders, they are lazy and offer zero mentorship. - Epidemiologist II Boston Public Health Commission Employee Review

Pros

I have a job and am not unemployed or homeless, and that's it. Coworkers are nice, but eventually leave, especially if they are bright, because managers don't respect their employees.

Cons

Awful management. Poor supervision. Lack of routine performance evaluations, as they are voluntary. Human resources is a joke, and is bizarrely afraid of conflict, and therefore will not assist in conflict resolution.

Pros

- Extremely meaningful work across the city of Boston - BPHC is made up of people willing to go the extra mile on any given project. Everyone is very dedicated to the work

Cons

- Super low retention rates. Most people leave after 1.5-3 years. Impossible to get promoted or more $ because most employees are on a grant and/or union salary - Depending on the job, there is very little work life balance. Lots of employees are burnt out because they work overtime and weekends every single week. - Boston residency is required for most positions, which is unattainable with the salaries given
