U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Reviews
Rating 4.06 out of 5 98 reviews
I think the Department of Veterans Affairs does a great job of helping their Veterans and patients. However, I think more can be done to help the staff and hold those more accountable in leadership roles. Many of the leadership roles consist of doctors who may not necessarily have the time or ability to manage administrative tasks on their own. For the future of the administration, it would be best to invest their hiring practices more into the younger generation who has experience and education in healthcare administration.
Great room for a vertical and horizontal job promotion. Great benefits and flexible hours. The manager is quite accommodating. However, certain processes and turnover of information/decisions is quite lengthy. The structure of management seems very outdated and there are many unnecessary barriers that slow progress.
Great place to work, great coworkers, great management, awesome benefits, but very low pay. Not competitive compared to local healthcare centers around.
