Albany Medical Center reviews

-Bullying and cliques among workers in this establishment are out of control. Management needs to take notice and control it. -Favoritism amongst some employees and management is beyond obvious. Politics are the only way you're going to advance your career if you do at all. -It's all about money in the eyes of administration except when it comes to giving deserving employees raises and other incentives. -While on morning shifts, get there at least 30-35 minutes early because shuttle and transportation is severely lacking. -Call in/sick time policy needs to be reviewed and changed. -Management could care less about their department's employees. When concerns or problems arise they don't listen or follow up on them. They listen to one side of the story and that's it. They do not stick up for employees when it is needed. -

The administration cares more about the bottom line and their own benefits than patient care and the hospital staff. We are constantly asked to do more with less. We are chronically short staffed and it is only getting worse. The Department of Health is routinely inspecting us for our staffing and patient safety issues. Many staff members have to work multiple jobs to make ends meet while the hospital leadership continue to make millions a year. They are actively trying to reduce our already measly annual raise amount from a maximum of 3% to a maximum of 1.5%. Our benefits are terrible with no retirement contributions unless you are management or have billable hours. Our former CEO who retired in 2019 is still on the payroll making six figures. We have the worst ER wait times in NY state and some of the worst in the nation. This is a colossal failure of the hospital leadership and they should be removed from their positions.
