Pros

Worked with some good co workers.

Cons

Novant told the media that only 157 secretary/CNA'S got their salaries cut. That is not true. Most CNA's were hired with the title sec/tech added to them even if they never did secretarial work. They are still having to do all kinds of secretarial work and take care of a full patient load. The only difference is that they don't put in doctors orders any more. When they cut the CNA's salary the ones that took the biggest hit was the most dedicated that had been with them for years and the only raises they ever got was a market increase every few years of about 15 cents an hour. The ones that had been with Novant for 8,10 and 12 years were making around $14.00 per hour. They got cut about $2.00 per hour putting their salaries back to the year 2009. They started hiring new CNA's for around $8.00 to $9.50 an hour. The few dedicated that they have left are all but being forced out. They are hiring many people with no experience or very little and they know that their pay is too low so most of them won't work very hard or consistantly.

Pros

Good pay, benefits, time off, and they strive hard to make employees feel heard. Not afraid of change or doing something different. Definitely a lot of effort in turning feedback into action.

Cons

Corporate smothers the smaller offices. Way too big and everything is way too detailed to where nothing is easy to find or understand (policies change almost weekly). IT is outsourced and not helpful. Everything is cheap. Employees feel like pampered cattle. "Float" is only for bigger offices and isn't guaranteed. They will short staff you in a heart beat and tell you your burn out is "growing pains". Raises and bonuses are pathetic. Better compared to PHC, but when the CEO earns 6+ million every year and all we are given is $400 bonus and a 1% raise because we didn't reach impossible goals = not fair. 8-5 M-F is not ideal for healthcare. Bring back more Friday at noon hours.
