I've been with Upstream for some time now, including both in the clinic and corporate settings, and unfortunately, I must express my disappointment with the overall treatment of employees. The company lacks essential benefits, such as federal holidays off, Christmas bonuses, and reasonable PTO.
The PTO accrual system is particularly frustrating, as it takes years for any significant increase. This hinders work-life balance and employee well-being. Additionally, the benefits package is subpar, offering little support for employees' health and financial needs.
One major concern is the compensation structure. The pay is below industry standards, and the maximum 3% raise after the first year doesn't reflect the hard work and dedication employees invest.
Overall, there's a noticeable lack of consideration for the well-being and motivation of the workforce. I hope the company reevaluates its employee-centric policies to create a more positive and rewarding work environment, but unfortunately that is unlikely.
