Pros

Premium covered healthcare, along with HSA and 401k offerings. PTO is fine. The people here genuinely want to make a difference. They’re so very smart and caring but the toxic leadership is the hugest blocker.

Cons

I’m already out of here but let me tell you there’s so many red flags. Company had been doing “quiet firing” in the beginning of the year. Then they were cryptic about lay offs for over a month only for us to find out that the CFO had mismanaged money and the CEO/COO did not read the market right at all. One morning more than 20% of workers were suddenly laid off. Not shockingly, most if not all Athena associated workers had survived. All those remaining are expected to cover the work of +50 people with very little direction, and no end to this horrible situation in sight. Expectation is that everything is important and everything has to be done now even though every single department is under pressure. C-suite and their comrades of high up leaders just watch as everyone drowns and continues to hand more work out like it’s an Oprah show. Anything that goes awry, leadership will pretty much blame those who are covering for multiple and even teams of people, yet again, it was C suite/high up leaders who put us in this predicament. Don’t worry there is a healthy amount of gaslighting from above. They don’t care so long as they can squeeze every little effort they can out of us, pretty much no work life balance. There’s been so many negative reviews as of lately, and the company acknowledges this but doesn’t change or improve their culture in anyway because the CEO dances around issues and states that these are not real problems. The only thing holding the company together is commiseration and even then that runs dry.

Pros

Strong mission-driven culture with clear organizational goals. Despite the challenges facing the healthcare staffing industry after COVID, leadership(Ted J. ) communicated openly about the company's situation and provided employees with a clear understanding of priorities and expectations.

Cons

Following the leadership transition(removal of Ted J.), communication around company stability and the pending merger was a major concern. For more than six months, employees faced ongoing uncertainty while seeking clarity about the organization's future. The lack of transparent communication contributed to increased stress, reduced morale, and a workplace environment where many employees felt anxious about their job security.
