Rayus-Radiology

This company merged with a bigger corporation in 2017 and since then, operations slowly evolved so that management makes decisions based on what is most profitable, not what is best for the patients, staff and community, which is how decisions were made before the merger.  Share holders are who they must keep happy and it is apparent when you get a lot of emails that talk about the company’s profit levels instead of patient and employee satisfaction. The staff are dedicated and compassionate which is why the patient care is excellent, but bring up the topic of job satisfaction and you will hear a lot more negatives than positives. They never give out raises, not even for cost of living, leadership desperately needs proper training, very little opportunities for advancement and lacking transparency. Go ahead and ask what the payscale is for your position and see what kind of reply you get. Most places will have two numbers ready, the low and high, why is it they do not have those numbers? It is because they are disorganized and you will find yourself doing tasks that should be appointed to someone else. It is difficult to justify how much to pay someone when everyone is doing a little bit of everything, including janitorial and maintenance type duties. There is no one hired for maintenance so when something needs it, you either have to figure it out or deal with it for several months.  Leads are noticeably overwhelmed and lack support, general staff is unmotivated due to lack of rewarding system, what you get are some employees doing the bare minimum while others have full plates and are being asked to do more because they are go-getters. High turnover creates a hardship on current staff who is constantly absorbing the extra work due to the time it takes to train an employee, plus the work the trainer cannot due because they’re babysitting the new-hire. If you can take the reigns and handle working with little direction and supervision, you will look like a rockstar to another organization and they most likely will pay fairly for your skills.  Good place to get experience in many areas because of the disorganization, but if you want to make more money, you will have to leave if you want that. 

Rayus Radiology are the cheapest option for any patient requiring care. Due to this most of the staff is underpaid by a significant degree. Almost every receptionist is payed less than $21 an hour and a few are working for as low as $18 an hour. The Technologists are also underpaid in comparison to other outpatient clinics, some are even making $15 an hour less than what is typical for the roll.

Breaks are not something that are made a priority for the Technologists. Lunch blocks are constantly deleted forcing the Technologists to work through their Lunch and breaks relatively consistently.

Management leaves much to be desired on all fronts. We are constantly told that we are "having the best year yet" but the barely translates to job growth for anybody in clinic. Every year they do "merit" raises which are never more than 1%-3% increases to your salary. This usually amounts to a miniscule raise of 0.20$ an hour more. Management is very wishy washy about calling out, in some cases its never a problem even when they struggle to find coverage but if you get sick on a bad day for them they WILL make it your problem. Trying to communicate with the management team is always a nightmare as no matter what you say it ultimately always comes down to a "I am the boss and you will listen to me" type of statement.

The only enjoyable part of this job is that there are some genuinely good people who work here. The unfortunate part is that they're being taken advantage of by Rayus.


Pros:  Pay was decent.  (Although, some of my other coworkers were NOT compensated fairly.)  Corporate in MN always seemed ready to help, especially with advancement opportunities.  The HR department was on point, as well.

Cons: MANAGEMENT!!! (MRI/medical imaging in the Southeast region, in particular.)  The "leaders" in this region are the most unprofessional, back stabbing, and conniving individuals ever.  Thankfully, the previous MRI manager (who played severe favorites & would throw you under the bus in a heartbeat without warning) quit in 2019, leaving us all with the hope that the micro-managing would subside.  However, it just got worse.  The current manager is an amazing tech but lacks consistent communication and leadership skills, which leads to a chaotic work environment that upholds every site's complete lack of morale. Honestly, the worst part of the job is the regional manager who sits high on a throne of miscommunication and egoism. She lives and works states away from the sites she manages and MRI isn't even her specialty. Therefore, she unloads tons of responsibility on the new MRI manager (who happens to live hours away from the sites he manages, too!)  The inefficiency is just too much and the employees deserve SO much more than what they get, especially respect and gratitude for the wonderful job they do in the midst of such chaos. The entire environment is a complete mess!  So, if you like to work hard for little to no recognition from absent leaders, go ahead and apply.  I'd advise you to look elsewhere, though.  Unfortunately, the cons here outweigh the pros by a long shot.

When I worked as a PRN MRI Tech in N.C. Insight had just lost 70 to 80% of their staff, they simply walked off the job. At that time I was an experienced MRI Tech with 8 years hospital experience. I was offered a Full Time position but took PRN instead, just to help the company out until more staff could be hired. Within a month I completely understood why everyone left, the company management and the local managers were nothing but lying back biting, back stabbing snakes. They started hiring MRI students and new graduates with no experience and put them in high volume work environments, the result was,, they lost contracts left and right. Basically they were charging top dollar prices for their services and producing substandard imaging in the areas students and new graduates covered. Their reputation in the medical field and with MRI technologists hit rock bottom, and they were forced to leave the area. Which is why, I believe, they changed their name. In 2019 the same manager still handles the N.C. area, so beware if you join this team. The pay is awful, there is no organization and no advancement with the company. The manager routinely threatens you with your job and plays favoritism with the staff. Male techs and female techs are treated differently by the management and paid differently too. If you absolutely need a job, take a chance and work for this company, but get out quick or you will get burned!!

I cannot say enough about the staff that I worked with at CDI/Epic Imaging. These are individuals I will forever remember as some of the best people to work with every day serving patients. The mammography department are fabulous and what they do and are very approachable and contribute to a fun environment at work. The MRI texts are highly skilled and knowledgeable, very professional and willing to help the front desk staff with their workflow. There is a significant opportunity with the leader ship in terms of making decisions that will protect the companies assets as they are somewhat of a higher liability Due to the lack of knowledge on employment law. But overall the company is heading in a great direction and growing and should provide lots of opportunity for people willing to work hard in a very fast-paced environment, which I personally loved. The culture reflects a divisionBetween staff and leader ship and hopefully that will develop overtime. You’ve got to be a dynamic and love a fast-paced environment if you work at the front desk, it was a great fit for me and I love going to work. It is just due to the leader ship and some of the decisions that they are comfortable making that reflect the lower rating but if I were to rate this organization based on the staff it would definitely be a five

Developed the best work relationships that were meaningful and productive, loved the collaboration between clinical and nonclinical staff. Staff are passionate about what they do and work extremely hard, they overcome obstacles on their own And although management is disconnected it appeared staff are so used to that that day get it done regardless. I’m not quite sure what Management does there,, was uncomfortable with the front desk lead seeming more concerned about being people’s friends rather than him being a leader. All in all, I had no negative experiences whatsoever with staff or patients and loved what I did, but most definitely the management is this companies largest, if not only, liability and I recommend they train them on some of the more important things like privacy any and employment laws. It’s actually kind of scary that there are managers still doing the things I saw them doing, which actually did not become a parent until my last few days there, not ideal during a time that this company is growing and the Oregon market is their busiest or highest volume locations in the country. If all eyes are on Oregon you don’t want bad optics with the stuff that comes along with certain decisions.

Was excited for the job opportunity to work as a front house associate in DeSoto but it was a false sense of hope. Management in charge of my training never wanted to answer my questions only told me to read over my notes which were taken by watching my coworkers work but my manager said not to follow because they “weren’t trained right”. When I ask a question or for help from my management, I got scolded verbally in front of my co workers (and patients) and told maybe I wasn’t right for the job. Management knew I had NO prior experience and needed full training. I was there probably three weeks and then I left because a job is stressful enough without having the stress of this mess. Other seniority coworkers mistakes were put on my name because they helped me and I was still learning but management said I’d have to answer for it and be liable for it on my evaluation. My co workers were amazing but I couldn’t lean on them for help or ask them questions without getting in trouble from management who lacked training support. Plus I was barely trained in much and then my manager said she was going to have me close by myself. Disappointing experience.

I started working at the front desk and within the year moved to the scheduling department in which I learned and mastered very quickly. I love the fast-paced and multi-tasking that are required of the position as it keeps me moving forward. I also enjoy working with the people that I work with as they all are able to come together to complete what needs to be done and can throw some humor in there as well when it's needed. It is very rewarding to help people schedule their appointments and to make it as easy as I can for them. I have learned that I have very strong leadership skills and am not afraid to ask for more. I have come to love what I do but find a strong craving for more and have found that there are not many options to grow at my company. I work odd, bank-time hours which make it very difficult to get things done throughout the week before offices close. I would say the hardest part of the job are the hours and not being able to get done all that needs to get done within the 8 hour shifts I work but I often volunteer to come in early or stay late to get caught up.

Great work life balance compared to working at a hospital. Pay is fair/competitive, but of course not as high as a hospital. BUT you are not working in a hospital dealing with all the inherent challenges that hospital imaging staff do. No ED blowing up the day with emergent patients, causing long delays for outpatients. Sure there are add ons some days, but all patients are AMBULATORY and in much better health than some of the acute, exacerbated health conditions seen at the hospital. No lines/drips, EKG monitors, etc. No on call, nights, and few holidays (if any). If you are into an adrenaline pumping chaotic environment than this is not the place for you, but if you are looking for a work environment that keeps you busy and with a manageable work load- this is your place.  Some people complain about management or higher ups- but this is pretty much the case everywhere. Far better work environment than all previous places I have worked and pay is fair for the work environment and patient acuity. 

There’s been a ton of changes at the company over the past 9 months and no one seems to be in any kind of alignment (other than buy new centers so we can sell the company in a year or two). None of the new leaders seem very engaging or inspiring, it’s a lot of “just get the work done” kind of direction. 
Culture has dropped a lot across corporate since they brought in a new VP in HR. The old director in HR was really nice and everyone knew her and she seemed really good. It seems everyone on the HR team left because the new manager - literally the entire HR team quit within 6 months of her starting. And when you try to call HR or email them about an issue, you never hear back. 
Then they let the Head of IT go so everyone there is unhappy because he was amazing. There’s a lot of layoffs and outsourcing, so the people who stay are worried about their jobs. 
We used to give bonuses, but stopped last year and pay increases are either non existent or really small (like 1-2%). 
And recently there seems to be a lot of people who are let go with no apparent reason. It’s almost like if you make a mistake you get fired for cost savings
