Pros

Foothill Community Health Center (FCHC) provides young graduates with the opportunity to gain experience. The comprehensiveness of FCHC is wonderful for patients. Some of the providers are great!

Cons

A lot of the staff seem disgruntled most of the time and patients notice it. Medical assistants at the front are not the most welcoming people. Because FCHC is a federally qualified health center that exists to serve medically underserved communities who mostly have no to low-income, it is unfortunate that I felt as though patients were not receiving quality care. Supervisor was not great. Not a place for innovation or growth. It's definitely more of a stepping stone so you have something to rely on for the next job that you actually want.

Horrible place to work

Pros

Good benefits. Kaiser, dental and vision

Cons

Horrible management. You can tell employees hate there jobs. HR doesn’t protect employees. Constant drama. I had a supervisor that would constantly yell and cuss during meetings. If you ever make one little mistake they threaten you but supervisors are allowed to be shady and make big mistakes and CEO and HR cover up

Pros

Competitive pay, good medical, dental and vision benefits

Cons

1. As a provider, my work schedule changed from month to month or from week to week. Sometimes, there would be last minute schedule change and you would be expected to work on the day that you were initially told that you were off. 2. Lack of strong leadership, trust and communication from the management. 3. This organization will never appreciate your hard work and efforts. However, the moment they find a small mistake, they will present you with a written write up. They will not even give you a verbal warning. 4. Very difficult to get PTO approved. 5. Upper management lacks educational background and work experiences to be in the positions they are leading to lot of mismanagement and micromanagement of employees. 6. They intimidate employees so the employees will not question the management on their horrible actions. 7. Most managers and supervisors do not have enough experience yet they get easily hired because they know someone in the management. 8. The HR department is the most incompetent. If you raise any legitimate issues, you will face retaliation which can lead to you leaving the job or they will come up with ways to fire you. Do not expect them to be neutral in solving problems. They will always side with the management and not the employees even when employees are right. 9. Very poor work life balance. My manager at times called me at 4 am asking me to work on my day off. 10. The management expects providers to meet their high encounter numbers. Very little thought is given to the quality of care. Those providers who have high encounters, are protected regardless of poor quality of their work. If you are hard working, honest, and care about patients, I urge you to stay away from this place. I regret spending 4 years here trying to better this place.

Dear Provider- FCHC is an organization where everyone thrieves to deliver their best and employees put patients first. 2018 has been a great year for FCHC, promoting trainings for the supervisors, managers, first time managers,etc. Turnover rate is at its lowest and this also applies to any disciplinary action company-wide. We believe in giving employees a change but at the end the employee is ultimately responsable of their own performance, actions and successs in the organization. To many of us patients come first because "We are the community we served". We love implementing new things like: Free- Friday breakfast, pizza, ice-cream gatherings and many other activies done company-wide because it brings us closer. HR holds everyone accountable regarless of their position in the organization in order to maintain a fair and possitive work environment.
