Nepotism runs rampant, lack of diversity - Anonymous employee US Anesthesia Partners Employee Review

Nepotism runs rampant and unchecked at USAP. A large majority of my coworkers are people who knew each other outside of work prior to working together. Daughters, cousins, friends of friends - so on and so forth. Normally this isn't all that big of a problem but given the large amount of turnover I've personally witnessed, one begins to wonder just how long ago USAP became content with sacrificing quality for the sake of comradery. This extends beyond just the "ground floor" and has reached the management level. It begins to make you question whether or not you would even get a fair shake at a promotion if you aren't buddies with the "right" people outside of work. I would estimate that more than 80% of my coworkers are of Latin-American descent. Although I do belong to this group as well, I've personally spoken to coworkers who do not belong to this group that have confided in me that they do worry about being treated differently than the rest of their colleagues by management. It doesn't take much looking around to see the forest for the trees at USAP.
