Planned Parenthood Careers and Employment

A typical day at work was checking patients in, reviewing insurance info that was given and determining who needed to apply for Medicaid. My manager, NP's & co-workers made it awesome!

Health Center Manager in Orange, CA

Many mixed feelings as a manager

I have truly enjoyed working with the patients and employees - I love and support the mission at PPOSBC, and the clinical staff is AMAZING! I loved working with my health center team; I appreciate how impactful it is to work with the patients and communities we positively affected, and if I went back in time, I would still choose to work here and do it all over again, just to be apart of the mission.My perspective is as a health center manager, so it won't necessarily align with everyone else's perspective. In the beginning, I was made aware that we were understaffed and it was all hands on deck, and I was eager. My training was minimal, and it was basically a baptism by fire. I had other managers I knew I could call, but overall, I felt overwhelmed and exhausted each day. I soon realized that managers are almost always understaffed, and it's always all hands on deck. I've been called, texted, emailed, on video calls, etc on my days off, and I honestly cannot recall the last weekend in which I didn't work.The difficult part is that you love the mission, and your staff, and you want to do everything you can to help; but the workplace culture (starting from the very top) does not acknowledge a work/life balance. It's been frustrating because they say it does matter, but then there's another urgent call they need you to be on, or audit you need to come in for, and a work/life balance isn't put into practice or prioritized.I felt terrible when my staff could see how exhausted I was, even though I tried to hide it, but you can't necessarily hide burnout...Again, I LOVE and support the mission; the clinicians/doctors are incredible, and the health center staff are so empathetic and kind; the work being done there is impactful and amazing. Managers however seem to always be understaffed, overworked, under appreciated, underpaid, burnt-out, and often unheard. My mental health has taken a SERIOUS decline since working in this role, affecting my personal life and health...I am thankful for the team I worked with, the mission, and services we provided; Managers would stick around more often if a work/life balance were available, they were paid correctly for the hours/work they put in, and they were able to be staffed correctly.

Best company I've ever worked for!

Supportive environment and amazing supervisors. I loved going to work everyday and felt that both the benefits and work-life balance were perfect. Thank you so much for providing me with an outstanding first job PP!

Fun place to get medical experience

Management sucks at their jobs. We’re overworked and disrespected to the max. They don’t care about you having a life outside of work and you’re expected to work all day everyday. The patients are the only people that make the experience worth it while being here.

Not work life balance

Working here is not something I would recommend to anyone. They may start you off paying well but that is how they make up for how they treat you while you work there. They only care about the money not you.
