INTEGRAMED AMERICA, INC. IS A SUEDO PEO (PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYER
ORGANIZATION)/BUSINESS MANAGEMENT COMPANY FOR INFERTILITY PRACTICES
THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. CURRENTLY IT HAS SEVEN PARTNER PRACTICES
AND IS NO. 13 ON FORBES FASTEST GROWING SMALL COMPANIES. ITS TOTAL
EMPLOYEE COUNT INCLUDING EMPLOYEES OF THE PARTNER PRACTICES IS 750+.
ITS CORPORATE OFFICE IS IN PURCHASE, NEW YORK WHERE THERE IS 20+
EMPLOYEES. THE DRESS IS BUSINESS CASUAL. THE ORGANIZATION HAS
DIVERSITY IN EMPLOYEES HOWEVER IT IS DIFFICULT FOR A MINORITY OR
PROTECTED CLASS TO INFILTRATE SENIOR EXECUTIVE POSITIONS. THERE EXISTS
A "GOOD OLE BOYS" NETWORK.
THE HOURS AT THE CORPORATE OFFICE IS CONSISTANT WITH A BANKING
ESTABLISHMENT HOWEVER THE PRACTICES IT SUPPORTS ARE OPEN OR AT LEAST
AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, 365 DAYS. THE PRACTICES
OPERATING HOURS ARE GENERALLY FROM 7 AM - 4 PM; AT CORPORATE 8 AM - 5
PM.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADVANCEMENT ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. THE
ORGANIZATION HAS LITTLE REGARD FOR TRAINING AND DOES LITTLE FOR THE
CAREER DEVELOPMENT OF ITS EMPLOYEES. FOR AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS IN
THE WOMEN'S HEALTH INDUSTRY, IT DOES NOT OFFER MATERNITY LEAVE TO ITS
EMPLOYEES AND DOES NOT ENCOURAGE WORK/LIFE BALANCE.
FOR A SMALL ORGANIZATION, THERE IS A HUGE BUREACRACY WITH INFLATED
TITLES AND SALARIES FOR EXECUTIVES.
INTEGRAMED AMERICA, INC. TAKES A SUBSTANTIAL FEE FROM ITS PARTNER
PRACTICES FOR OFFERING ASSISTANCE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF FINANCES,
MARKETING, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, RISK MANAGEMENT AND HUMAN RESOURCES.
LIKE ARTHUR ANDERSEN'S RELATIONSHIP WITH MANY OF ITS CLIENTS, NAMELY
ENRON, THERE IS A CONFLICT OF INTERESTS. INTEGRAMED AMERICA MANAGES
THE BOOKS OF THE INFERTILITY PRACTICES THAT JOIN AS PARTNERS AND ARE
PAID A FEE FROM THE REVENUE THE PRACTICES GENERATE. HONESTY IS
ECLIPSED BY GREED. ONE EMPLOYEE LIKEN INTEGRAMED AMERICA TO THE MOB.
IT GIVES PRACTICES OFFERS THEY CANNOT REFUSE AND USES ITS RESOURCES TO
ENCOURAGE CONTINUED DEPENDENCY RATHER THAN SELF-RELIANCE.
INTEGRAMED AMERICA CLAIMS ITS PARTNER PRACTICES WILL SEE PROFITS IN A
FIVE-YEAR PERIOD AFTER JOINING ITS NETWORK HOWEVER THIS IS NOT
VERIFIABLE NOR ACCURATE.
