      Needs a union for nurses - Registered Nurse Northwell Health Employee Review

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Large system, opportunity for inexperienced nurses to gain management experience. They hire nurses with less than 1 year or 2 as assistant nurse managers.

      Cons

      You will never get raises. Only administrators and managers get bonuses. They do not pay you for your experience. No transparency about pay scale. HR will not help you understand, and you must fear retaliation asking too many questions. No specialty pay. i.e ICU, ER, Case management.

      Thank you for your review as a Program Manager. At Northwell, our leaders are helping us on our quest to redefine healthcare, and without their leadership, we wouldn’t be named Forbes America's Dream Employer. We strive to offer a culture that upholds our values and mission, while also supporting the wants and needs of our patients and team members. Your comments are important to us, which is why we will share them internally.

      Pros

      Office setting; nice people, cafeteria

      Cons

      Overworked and severely underpaid, short staffed for the amount of patients they intake to the program (on the clinician side and administrative), very low pay for administrative workers, little to no real benefits (PTO is not front loaded but trickled in: 1 hour accumulated per pay period - it would take about 4 months to accumulate 1 full day of PTO. Sick time is a similar trickle system so you end up taking a lot of unpaid time until you can’t), due to that it’s impossible to not get burnt out. The union also hasn’t negotiated a good contract if these conditions exist for those at the basic level. Food in the cafeteria is not great and sometimes gives people the runs. Also it’s expensive (full price despite working for the org; they cannot even give discounts which is weird considering how much the CEO makes and how little we do). Feel abandoned and not properly compensated. Deeply exhausted.
