      Pros

      Company has a good mission.

      Cons

      You have no job security here. They do frequent layoffs in small groups quarter after quarter, so it doesn’t seem like they’re laying off a lot of people. This is arguably worse as it leaves everyone on edge wondering who’s next. They blame it on restructuring but that’s not the case. Teams across the organization are very understaffed and overworked. You will be given more work with no pay increase and expected to do it to “take one for the team”. The ones who take on more work seem to be the ones who get the praise. This could be a great company to work for down the road when they’re more financially stable but I’d avoid it for the time being if you value job security at all.

      We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us. PurposeMed's mission is one we are equally proud of and has helped us grow faster than anyone could have anticipated in the past 3 years. As a result, changes and updates to our processes and the way we operate have been inevitable (as with any growing business). We do recognize this can be difficult to adapt to at times, but have an amazing team and have been actively trying to improve our products and workflows to help support everyone in their work. When we’ve had to make some operational changes that involved people, the decisions were never taken lightly, but again, we appreciate how taxing this can feel for the team. We’re confident that we’re going to continue moving forward sustainably as a business.

      Pros

      - I've never worked anywhere with a culture as strong as PurposeMed - Everyone comes to work with an immense passion for helping others, both our patients and members of our team - We are helping thousands of underserved people access healthcare across Canada, and everyone understands how what they do fits into that mission - Ability to work remotely or from the office if you are in Calgary - Competitive salary, lots of time off including the full holiday week in December, extra long weekends in the summer

      Cons

      - Employee benefits are decent but could be improved - Building a company is hard work, everyone here goes the extra mile which can add up, but management is very good at recognizing those moments and giving people the time they need to disconnect - There are so many things we can help people with, picking what's next is challenging!

      Thanks for taking the time to review us! We’re very happy to hear that the culture here is the strongest you’ve experienced and that you’re enjoying some of our perks and benefits—we’re looking forward to the next extended holiday weekend coming up soon! Your review was shared before we increased our benefits package this June, which we hope now meets more of your needs, but if there’s ever feedback that you want to share, or ideas you have to improve our offerings, please don’t hesitate to reach out to anyone on the People team.

      Pros

      - Great people working in non-executive roles - Staff very committed to providing patients the best

      Cons

      - Lack of experience and insight amongst exec and founder team impacts operations - Stated values are not at all the practices of the company - profit is the number one priority over patients and staff - Sexist and nepotistic culture - staff from underrepresented groups continually treated poorly, yet publicly displayed as tokens - Frequent layoffs and great people 'quitting', esp those who disagreed with direction of company

      We're grateful for the time you've taken to write us a review and glad to hear that you feel like our team is committed to providing patients with excellent care. Some of the messages that you’ve shared here, specifically the mention of sexist and nepotistic culture and that staff from underrepresented groups are treated poorly, are concerning. Given the populations that we serve, and our mission to improve access to care for underserved communities, we take diversity, acceptance, and belonging seriously. Being inclusive is one of our core values, and something that we pride ourselves on, as our team is quite diverse here at PurposeMed in many ways. It appears that you are no longer with PurposeMed—although you no longer work here, we would be more than happy to discuss your concerns with a member of our People team if there’s anything you feel should be surfaced for us to look into further. If you feel comfortable, please reach out to people@purposemed.com.
