FPA Womens Health

Working at FPA Women’s Health as the Director of Marketing has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The organization’s mission to provide accessible, high-quality reproductive healthcare is reflected in everything we do, and it’s inspiring to be part of a team so committed to making a real difference in people’s lives. Leadership is supportive, communicative, and genuinely invested in both patient outcomes and employee success. The culture is fast-paced but collaborative; ideas are welcomed, and cross-functional teamwork is encouraged. I’ve had the opportunity to lead meaningful projects and see the impact of our work in real time. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and there’s a clear path for growth if you’re proactive. Work-life balance is manageable, especially with a leadership team that values boundaries and wellbeing. Overall, FPA is a place where you can grow professionally while doing work that truly matters.

There isn't much when it comes to advancement in the company. There's always a pool of people waiting to see you fail. The company's response to the covid outbreak was atrocious. When asked about hazard pay during the main hype of the pandemic the phrase, "well if they want to work, they'll work. They should be happy that they have a job." At the beginning workers were provided 1 N95 mask and expected to make it work for the whole month. Multiple times they failed to provide proper PPE. When outbreaks occurred in offices. They would eventually tell workers about the exposure, but say "as long as you don't have symptoms, still come in for your shift, even if you worked with the covid positive coworker." 
They have a tendency to expect workers to work through their lunch break while clocked out. When workers would try to have their lunch breaks outside of the breakroom, to avoid overcrowding in the breakroom. They were given verbal warnings and writeups. Some managers are amazing and other's have been known to throw workers under the bus and quickly ask to borrow another replacement and not want to train their own workers. 

I have been here for 15 years! As much as I have grown and changed as a person this company has given me the room to really spread my wings and thrive. The company has direction, which has continually challenged me to rise up. It has really been a pleasure to see things change with the times. The executive team does not hesitate to change things that do not work. Which is refreshing. I love working with people who support and reach out to each other. There are 25 locations, but I can pick up the phone and call a clinic 100 miles away and I will get a friendly "Hello, this is (name) how may I assist you." There have been many long days but it is because I want to make everything perfect. The team I have worked with strive for the best. That can be hard but equally rewarding. This has been the same with the 8 locations I have worked in. I will never forget my interview, the open position was for a receptionist. I was told this was a company you can move up in and that was true for me, and I have seen it happen here for years. 

This is truly a horrible place to work at, the pay is very low for the amount of work given, they constantly overbook the schedule and the wait times for patients are 2-3 hours sometimes over an hour just to finally see the provider, the people I worked with at the Glendale location truly DO NOT CARE about patients , they would rather do their hair or makeup meanwhile the patients are waiting for them to be seen, management would purposely tell the receptionist to not take patients in if they were late then if a patient reported it management would act clueless and blame it on the receptionist, also lots of favoritism, management made their very close friend the assistant manager, the same person who would rather do their makeup then actually care about a patient , also lots of these workers would come late and clock in as if they were on time. The Glendale location as many other locations were truly horrid I don’t know how they’re still open.

I appreciate FPA for providing me with an opportunity with little to no work experience. Its a decent job as a new grad, but I felt overworked and burnt out. There is not enough time to see a high volume of patients (35-45) per day, chart, and call patients to discuss their lab results. Office manager often bugs you to skip charting to see all the patients even though it'll put you behind in the end. Its also incredibly difficult to take your own paid time off, which is annoying. They do offer bonus opportunities, which is nice, but you'd have to work at a location with a high volume of patients, which isn't worth it in my opinion. Other facilities pay much more for the work we're doing. Medical director and director of nursing are fair, personable, helpful and knowledgeable, but you can definitely FEEL that you're working for a for-profit company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The staff at the clinics. Unfortunately, working for this company was challenging due to upper management however, many of the staff at the clinics were great.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Unfortunately, you will be underpaid overworked and underappreciated. Upper management as far as the executive team goes in verbally abusive, and non-supportive of staff needs.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is stressful and unsupportive. There’s a lack of morale. Most people are always stressed and unhappy.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
For the most part, I just kept to myself, and did as I was told it was challenging to want to be a thinker here being that everything is so controlled by the executive team

I worked at the Oakland location for about two year. Until I was layoff . I love working at fpa womens health, I gained useful skills that build up my resume. To be honest I had over three managers since I work there, I believe all three try their best to manage the Oakland office but in my honest opinion, most of them were learning like me, and for that I felt like I supervised myself and ran the Oakland clinic myself, which help me gain supervising skills and lead me to become lead treatment coodinator, my pay was pretty low considering high cost of living in bay area, and it didn't matter because I love working at fpa. I pray daily when I work there that things would change, but it never did, I guess it was best that I was layoff

This place is a hot mess....completely ununiform policies, services and billing practices for a fairly large organization. Management is unrealistic, rude, unsupportive and crass.  They do not invest in proper training nor billing support services, which they expect you to handle ALL at the clinic level. And no one really seems to knows how to manage the billing and coding aspects of the job.  They do not invest in or offer any professional billing/coding training, yet expect newbies fresh put of MA school and physicians to figure it out, which only causes a huge backlog of unpaid claims that they expect the manager to come in and clean up.....AGAIN-without sufficient support or trained assistance. Just better pray you can figure out a way to clean up the mess handed to you, faster than they can replace you.

A typical day at FPA Women’s Health is busy but very rewarding. Every day brings opportunities to help patients and support one another as a team. I’ve learned so much about women’s healthcare, patient communication, and how important compassion is in this field. Management is supportive, approachable, and always encouraging professional growth. The workplace culture is positive, collaborative, and truly feels like a family where everyone is respected. The hardest part of the job is balancing the fast pace with making sure every patient receives the best care, but it’s also what makes the work so meaningful. The most enjoyable part is seeing patients leave feeling cared for and knowing you made a difference in their day. Overall, FPA Women’s Health is an incredible place to work, grow, and feel proud of the impact you make.

A typical day at work would conclude of me checking the schedule to see what time the next pt will arrive, once that is done I work on my tasks and and other tasks I have to do around the clinic as well as answer phone calls and schedule appointments. Once patients arrive I try my best to attend them as soon as they can so that they don't have to wait awhile. What I have learned is to be patient with everyone and hear everyone out because I am one of the people that the patients feel comfortable talking to with what is going on in their lives, once they know that they can trust me as the medical assistant some of their nerves may go away and they will have a comfortable time at their appointment. My workplace is great as I feel comfortable with my coworkers and they are very helpful.
