Family Health Centers of San Diego Employer Reviews

It was a fun job. Fast paced and always had something to do. Nothing was hard. It was volunteer work putting up 3 40x30 tents.

excellent company to work for; however, when Iwas involved in my car accident they let me go as soon as it occurred claiming that my position needed to be filled

Best place to work. My whole family has benefits. Great training, fun co-workers. Much better than my last healthcare job.

After 15 years, I look back with pride at my accomplishments with FHCSD. There have been challenges. The expectations of management are always clear. I have learned from my mistakes, which is not alway possible with very large corporations. Upper management is always accessible and supportive. The only limitations are the ones I place on myself. I can't – more... imagine leaving the health center. It would be like losing a family. – less

Great Organization, great benefits, great cause. Worked in some teams that had a family like atmosphere. Most employees are not here for the pay, but because it's a great organization and they are out to help people.

Advice to Senior Management – Pay close attention to the company culture. There have been several Cancers that hide under the radar. – more... I saw many great employees leave because of terrible managers.

Cons: It's funded by Federal/State/Country funds, so budget cuts causes layoffs regularly. Had several friends get let go during the tough economy and california budget cuts. – less

Canvass multiple zipcodes to recruit African American pregnant women to join our program to recieve assistance with prenatal Doctors, County assistance , housing and more. Management gave us the opportunity to attend many trainings in and outside of San Diego. My co-workers were all women ; with most being Team players. The hardest part of my job was – more... not being able to meet the client's needs for various reasons. My most enjoyable part of my job was when I had met the needs for them. – less

The company is micromanaged by the CEO through the management team. The only way an idea will be allowed to work is if it is turned into the CEO's idea. Want to use what others would call current management approaches -- don't try that here as it is seen as trying to "go against" top leadership. The mission is important-- but top leadership is really – more... there for reasons other than the mission. Focus is on being the biggest in town-- much less on the quality or relationships within the broader community. Many who have been there a while are beaten down and fall into line. Many from other organizations try not to deal with them at all. – less

NOT VERY GOOD ON HAVING STAFF SECURE FROM POTENTIAL DANGER. SECURITY WAS PRESENT IN BUILDING, TO MUCH PROBLEMS GOING ON

The job was great itself was a great job, I enjoyed the children and cool co workers! The administration was very unprofessional. I was written up for violating "rules" and the funny thing is that I wasn't at work the days when I was accused of breaking the "rules." I Immediatley took my concerns straight to HR and the main enchilada basically said – more... that they would believe the administrator over me. In other words, I felt that they were trying to fire me for any reason. I stuck in there til I got fired for who knows what? For breaking the dress code rule day when I wasn't at work? Very Shady place to work at, at least that's how it was when I was there. Although I enjoyed the job, I wouldn't recommend it for a choice of employment all because of the administration! Hopefully that awful administrator is gone! The job will be great if they improve admin. and management. – less

Very good family oriented company to work for. very family oriented and good values and people.

Company has very nice people there, but they also have complicated system. If an employee brings somehting to a supervisor's attention they will no longer like you, sometimes even go out of their way to mess with you.
