Pluspunten

The people they hire tend to be open, hard working, driven, and passionate about patient care at ALL levels. Everyone below leadership is working towards a common goal, and that unity makes Column Health really unique. For some, the schedule can be great in terms of flexibility! They offer plenty of holidays, PTO, and close during inclement weather. Snacks in the breakroom (when stocked) are really great especially on long days without a break to eat. Parking is available at 3 out of 4 locations, and all locations are accessible by public transportation. The clinic spaces are well maintained (for the most part) and attractive. Their embrace of technology at every corner of the business is noteworthy, but not uncommon of "start-ups" today. Casual dress code is a huge plus, but some do tend to abuse it. The company as a whole is actually quite diverse for its size, in terms of hiring POC, LGBT+, and women (more on that below).

Minpunten

Where to begin... Leadership operates in an extremely closed (literally and figuratively) space. It is incredibly toxic, encouraging team members to throw each other under the bus, pass blame when possible, and is constantly clouded by toxic masculinity. The parts of management/leadership that aren't male dominated, are primarily skinny, white, blonde women. While some reviews shared the positivity of career growth through promotions, many folks were promoted without any real training to assist them in that new role, and they were ultimately set up to fail. And please take the 5 star and positive reviews with a huge grain of salt - many were placed there to benefit the overall score and ratings of the organization (notice how many were posted on/around the same day...). The pay is sub-par for the area and when compared to similar industries, and leadership likes to blame that on being a "start-up", even though they've been in existence since 2014. Besides that, leadership (ahem, the male leadership) frequently takes trips to Florida on the company dollar. The CEO in particular leads based on fear based methods and regularly blames others (i.e. people he has fired) for the failures of the company, but very rarely shares the successes with the rest of the organization. There's also an incredibly apparent and uncomfortable disconnect between the business operations and medical operations of the clinics and business as a whole, and unfortunately the employees, and ultimately the patients, are suffering because of it. Given the nature of the business, there is an unusual amount of company activities (lunches, dinner meetings, outings, etc.) where alcohol is present - considering that one of the reasons Column Health exists is to treat substance use disorders, this seems odd and out of place.

One of our goals at Column Health is to empower our team members to have a significant impact on each other and the lives of our patients. I'm sorry to hear you had a negative experience with us. Not all management decisions are going to be spot-on and not all promotions will work out, but we will continue to improve our operations and will always remain mission focused; we are strongly committed to transforming lives by providing the best possible treatment for our patients. We understand this environment isn't for everyone, and we appreciate that you took the time to give feedback on your experience. We will work diligently to ensure that your experiences aren't perceived in the same light by another team member.

Pluspunten

I work with some of the most dedicated, compassionate and helpful people I've ever known. There is such a strong comradery and team work ethic that makes coming to work and seeing your peers a big highlight of the day. The services we provide and knowing we're making a huge difference in the community makes working at Column Health so rewarding. They notice and appreciate hard work. I know my team always has my back, and we go above and beyond for our patients. I've also never had a problem going to upper management with an issue, they've always listened and try to come to a resolution.

Minpunten

There are moments that can get overwhelming with everything that needs to get done. Depending on the position the hours can be a bit all over the place. But I know it's all in the best interest of the patients.
