Horrible

LVN (Former Employee) – San Antonio, TX – March 29, 2018

Be careful with this company. You can work for them for years but if you get sick or have a disability they will terminate you. They feel no remorse for the time and effort you put forth to do your job.

Pros

None

Cons

Bad HR dept

Poor VP

Human Resources Specialist (Former Employee) – San Antonio, TX – March 20, 2018

Derogatory to employees, rude, unprofessional.

The most enjoyable part of the job was leaving every day. In my time there I saw 13 people leave. The 3 other people that started with me all left within the first 30 days.

This was a very enjoyable & fun place to work place

LVN Nurse (Former Employee) – Lackland AFB, TX – January 14, 2018

A typical day at work I would multi task whether it be screening patient's, returning patient's phone calls, filling out paper work for your assigned provider, getting afternoon procedure clinic ready or helping out the RN in the Treatment room. I learned how to manage my time efficiently, sharpen my customer service skills & learned all the different joint injection procedures. the most enjoyable part of the job was being able to interact with the patients, providers & the rest of the staff.

Its the benefits that are bad.

Certified Nursing Assistant & Mental Health Tech (Current Employee) – San Antonio, TX – December 28, 2017

I would not be looking to go anywhere if it were not for the benefits. Upper management changed us from Etna gold to United Health Care. Our deductible went from 750.00 dollars a year to 5,000.00 dollars a year. And we had no say in this at all. Rumor had it that Etna was going to raise rates by 15%. My self and others would have rather paid the 15 percent raise. A typical day at work when working in psych was usually a good day. Now that i am a house sitter that has changed. It can be exhausting some days and others is so very boring. The best part of it all is helping the patients, i get a lot out of helping others.

Pros

The pay.

Cons

Short breaks, and healthcare

Looked forward to each new day as it was different everyday.

Chiropractor Assistant (Current Employee) – San Antonio, TX – September 13, 2017

I enjoy my job as chiropractor assistant as it gave me a different learning experience with co-workers, doctors, military members and most of all patients. Every day was as different as the day before and the next day. Never knowing what would have in store for me. My responsibilities would vary very seldom, but for the majority of the time they remained a consistency. As rotation would take place with the Chiropractor doctors and acupuncture technician we learn to still be a team among the three chiropractor technicians. We worked together in helping each other out even if it was not asked. We knew what was needed for each doctor even though we were not covering for that particular Chiropractor doctor or acupuncture technician. We communicate very well when it came time to having to cover for lunch or having to step out or even being short handed for a day. Being short handed would probably be the most difficult part of this job only because we knew what needed to be done and wanted to get it all done at once.

Pros

The pros about this position would have to be slow days.

Cons

Some of the cons could be having to take PTO on a mandatory basis.

Good communication

mental health technician (Former Employee) – San Antonio, TX – March 21, 2017

They had wonderful communication, what they needed from me was always clear and they gave me time to complete what they needed. There was job security to a certain point, and they made sure I was happy with the job and placement.

Pros

Caring staff, good pay

Cons

Short contract term

Was this review helpful?Yes 3 NoReport

unethical

health promotions (Former Employee) – Idaho – December 29, 2016

The position at Mt Home AFB is actually 52 miles from Boise (the base sits 11 miles from the edge of Mt Home, Idaho). I should know because I live in Boise and have made the commute for over 10 years.

Recently PPDG was awarded my contract and offered to cut my salary by 25%. When I counter offered, they flatly stated that the offer was all they were prepared to compensate. As a result, I am seeking new opportunities.

After speaking with some other contractors on base, this seems to be PPDG's modus operandi. They under bid and cut salary, which is not a good model for pt continuity of care.

I don't recommend this company to anyone, as they are unethical and don't seem to care about their employees. They likely see all employees as replaceable and believe they can find someone else for cheaper.

Comment – January 2, 2017

In addition, it appears as if PPDG is "scrubbing" these reviews. In other words, not all of these reviews are genuine. Notice how polar the reviews are; for example, they are either rated very high or very low. My best guess is that some of these reviews come from current employees of PPDG that work in their recruiting department. And the lower reviews are from past employees that weren't treated very well.

productive company

Certified Medical Assistant (Former Employee) – Great Lakes, IL – January 27, 2016

Working for PPDG was a good opportunity for a recently discharged veteran to get a job on a military base as a civilian to continue to serve

Great place to work.

Full-time 40 (Current Employee) – Fort Sam Houston, TX – December 8, 2015

LICENSED VOCATIONAL NURSE, SAMMC (Former Employee) – San Antonio, Texas – September 4, 2015

I worked as a contract nurse for PPDG on a Medical- Surgical Unit. My experience with this company was overall a good one, although HR staff changes often and their communication is not the greatest. My time at SAMMC was wonderful. I enjoyed most of my shifts and I know that I handled my job professionally with compassionate care.

Licensed Vocational Nurse (Current Employee) – San Antonio, TX – July 28, 2015

Bottom Line

Mental Health Tech (Former Employee) – Annapolis Naval Health Clinic – June 20, 2015

Things change constantly. Pay rate gets dropped or you are enrolled in IRA plan you don't want but have no choice in. No one gives you real answers. Everyone is Spanish speaking so the language barrier is a negative element. Also very unempathetic to employees needs or feelings. They have no clue how things work where you are but want to try to manage you as if they know what's going on.

Pros

None

Cons

Pay not equitable to your location and is based off locality pay in Texas

Room for Advancement

Director of Contract Operations (Former Employee) – San Antonio, TX – June 18, 2015

RECRUITER (Former Employee) – 78240 – April 25, 2015

Good Place to work for!

Psychiatric Technician at Naval Hospital Pensacola (Former Employee) – San Antonio, TX – March 2, 2015

PPDG - A great place to work!

Contract Manager (Current Employee) – San Antonio, TX – December 19, 2014

PPDG is a great place to work! There are numerous opportunities for advancement and the company truly believes in Continuous Process Improvement. Professional Development of staff members is also a priority to the company as well which I find very important.

Contract For Government Services

Mammography Technologist (Current Employee) – San Antonio, TX – April 11, 2014

Overall a productive company to work for. Benefits are included with the job. This job is contracted out which is the only downside because you may not know from year to year whether the job will be available.
Working with the military you will get a diverse group of people to work with and cultures. Management changes frequently because it is a military based facility.
The harderst part of the job is not having an immediate receptionist to handle my administrative duties.
The most enjoyable would be working with a wide variety of cultures.

Pros

Good people to work with

Cons

Only tech, hard to get time off
