Medical Assistant (Current Employee), St. Louis, MO – May 18, 2012
Pros: using electonic health record system(ehr)
Cons: long work hours
Working at Planned Parenthood has been a joy. They allowed me to finish school so I would have better chance in advancement. Some days are really hetic and most days are really laid back. Everyone gets along with one other and are willing to help out in any way they could.
The hardest part of my job is the long hours that I have to work and not being – more... appriciated for my work. I love interacting with the patients and learning new things that the job has to offer.
I learned to patient and not rush things, to just work at a fast but steady pace to get the job done in timely manner. – less

Health Care Assistant/Medical Office Assistant (Former Employee), Bucks Co. Pa – April 26, 2012
Planned Parenthoods vary according to geographic location. PP of NE PA is not a good place to work. It has taken PP Bucks Co. which used to be a wonderful place to work and provide extraordinary services. Now it is all about $$. The humans involved are immaterial. The attitude held by management is that any one can be replaced immediately for savings – more... to corporate pockets. A typical day of work is being under staffed. One would act as a birth control dispensary machine and answer non stop phones. One would have to deal with unhappy clients who have waited sometimes upward of one hour for services. – less

Director and Trainer (Former Employee), National Headquarters, NYC – April 5, 2012
Pros: proactive
Cons: may place you in stressful political position, from outside sources.
I worked for the national headquarters in NY during a time when there was lots of positive press and money to support the programs. The administration was proactive and strived to use effective management tools to support the programs and staff. Staff training was encouraged. I have no idea what the benefits are in 2012.They did have good benefits in – more... the 1980s. – less
Certified Nurse Midwife (Former Employee), Columbia Willamette – March 28, 2012
Cons: everthing!!!, this orginizations culture is wrong!!!!!
Certified Nurse Midwife job seekers BEWARE! If you are even thinking about this place as an employer, DON'T DO IT! The Clinic Manager in Bend, Oregon lies consistently to his employees, while looking into your eyes. He also has no clue about how to schedule patient appointments correctly. Therefore, ALL appointments are hurried, and patient needs are – more... not addressed. This Clinic Manager's idea for promoting the clinic is to hand out condoms in local bars. You have to be a mean alcoholic to work here. The staff all have a very mean spirted attitude. ALL this orginization cares about is there" all mighty dollar", and making patients come repeatedly back to the clinic to make money off there health conditions. The Director of Clinical Services in Portland, Oregon is not even Professional enough to give the common courtsey of a return phone call to a clinician. The Medical Director refers to fetuses that are about to be aborted as" the TARGET" on Ultrasounds done prior to the procedure. Also, your clinical judgement and abilities will be evaluated by clinicians/CNM's that have one year of experience, when you already have 20 years of experience as a Certified Nurse Midwife. This organization DEGRADES ALL WOMAN!!!!!! This job has NOTHING to do with being a Certified Nurse Midwife!!! It is a chop shop!!! Also, the Health Department should come and close them down, the hygiene in the clinic is disgusting!!!! If you care about WOMEN'S HEALTH, and your Career, DO NOT WORK FOR THIS ORGINIZATION!!!!!! – less

educative job, go out to the communities educate young and adult people
Great place to start as a new grad, no room for advancement. Medicore management.
Nurse Practitioner (Former Employee), Pasadena, Eagle Rock, Alhambra – March 20, 2012
Pros: being employed.
Cons: late lunches, no breaks, high volume of patient load, delayed evaluations
The Good : PP Pasadena is great workplace for new grads. You are exposed to a very diverse patient popolulation. You will learn various techniques such as IUD and Implanon insertion, explore various contraceptive options and definetly develop time management skills. The RHAs(assistants) are very helpful and educated.
The Bad : The mid-level management – more... is horrible. There is very little support for mid-level providers.Probationary and yearly evaluations rarely occur on time. The salary is on the lower end with no room for advancement. Raises are 1%- 3% per year and I have known many employees to be denied of their well deserved raises.It is very rare for an employee to receive 3% raise. I have worked for other PP affliates and this particular affiliate seems to be the most disorganized. The scheduling of patients is always double (sometimes triple) booked. There is usually a high turnover of mid-level providers.
PP is a great organization and has a great mission, I wish that they would value and appreciate their employees much more. Just because management provides an occasional pizza party with icecream does not mean you are appreciated. – less
