Pros

- Incredible Teammates - A lot of work to stay busy - Overall, hospital staff appreciates the interpretation team I had an amazing time primarily working at the Duluth Hospital & Gwinnett's ED/ICU Units during my time with Northside. The hospital staff was always kind to me, appreciative, & kindly called me for any language needs. The rapport was incredible! (My interpreter colleagues & hospital staff are truly the only reason why I gave Northside 2 stars & not 0 stars)

Cons

In my 7 years of experience as a hospital interpreter, this by far has to be the most disappointing experience I have ever had working for an interpreting team. In Summary: - Your voice means nothing within the department (This is due to personal experience. In a quarterly meeting I made a suggestion in front of everyone just to be told by the team supervisor, "I don't think anyone would take you serious", after offering to do rounds/in-services. So there's that) - Your hard work means nothing within the department. - Multiple resignations (3 in under a year) - Hostile work environment (I came to work dressed in business casual attire (**Khaki's, Shoes, Northside logo zip-up, comfortable non visible T-shirt under the zip-up** I was told to "Unzip" my pull over & asked to completely take it off in front of team members & I was sent home by supervisor for wearing a T-shirt under my Northside zip-up that was zipped up** This did not happen just once but two times. Once in front of the Lawrenceville team & another time in front of the Duluth Team. I was humiliated to say the least.) -No room to grow
