Pros

When I first began working for El Rio over 25 years ago, this clinic really cared about helping the community and supporting their staff. But as time went on and management has changed, they've stopped treating employees, and patients with respect. My hope is that in time, they find upper management who truly care for our community, and not their own pockets.

Cons

Not friendly, not accommodating, ageist, do not respect or care for seniority, low pay, minimal raises, do not support employees in finding alternate jobs in the company when they removed a job title due to contractual changes, do not support or care for the Physicians, rude to clients who speak a different language, unfair to new employees.

Pros

Great patients, who appreciate everything you do. Midwives are great. Management is terrible and has them duped.

Cons

Bullying! Birth Center. Management is a joke, they PRETEND to care. Do nothing but play favoritism with the MA who's been there for years. She will poison others to get you fired, they will bully you in order to esteem themselves, then play the victim. They were dangling a baby from a chair and the little baby threw up. YES! That happened! The mother was being seen by a midwife during the time. They are twisted and should be fired.

Pros

El Rio has very low expectations from its employees, so for the majority of departments, its an easy place to work. In addition, El Rio has a small business, almost a family atmosphere in most departments, so most areas are fun to work in. El Rio has an excellent mission, that is to provide healthcare to everyone, even for free. This makes it a great place to feel good about what you are doing.

Cons

The senior leadership at El Rio is extremely lacking. There is no drive for results, as they do not want to drive for results themselves. There is a complete lack of respect for their peers (and their ability to work together shows it) and in general, almost a complete lack of respect for staff. There is almost no communication, very little training/education (El Rio has a HIGH turnover, so they feel they are training people just to leave). The majority of leadership has never worked anywhere else, so they guard their areas and shut out new views or additional help, and trust almost no one. Every year, employee feedback goes without being addressed, as everyone reports leadership is the root cause.
