Atrium Health reviews

Little job security following Mr. Gene Woods taking the reigns as CEO. Multiple high level (VP, Senior VP, etc.) executives have been removed or suddenly resigned. This has trickled down to the lower levels and has really raised a consistent level of unease and ‘fear’ resulting in lost productivity. Key positions are currently vacant or filled with an ‘acting’ executive (President of Carolinas Medical Center Main/Central Division {acting}, Chief Medical Officer of Mercy {vacant} to name a couple). Communication is very lacking system-wide. Information isn’t passed down to the frontline teammates, leadership doesn’t do as good of a job as they should to ensure that situations/concerns are dealt with in a timely and appropriate manner. Human Resources representatives provide inaccurate information on fairly regular basis. Some from this department seem to respond based on what they think it should be without researching the information/policy to confirm. Employee parking at Carolinas Medical Center Main is very problematic. Though it would cost a lot of money to add additional parking spots, something needs to be done to speed up parking. It is normal for it to take 15 minutes to find a parking spot in the garage. Health benefits are really poor. What makes it worse is this is a healthcare company. I am not sure what the reasoning is for the poor coverage but it is bad. I know of at least a dozen former teammates that left to go to Novant to get better coverage. I also know of at least three teammates that go to the VA for their healthcare needs instead of using their Atrium insurance. An overall opinion that I heard time-and-time again was that the decision being made were not in the best interest of the employees/teammates. Specifically the multi-million dollar name change to Atrium Health and removing the Mecklenburg Medical Group. There are teammates on the fence on if changing anesthesia providers will actually reduce the cost that our patients pay.
