Pros

Great opportunity to work in the hospital. Great benefits. I feel supported by management as of right now. Cafeteria food is really good.

Cons

THE PAY. The pay is absolutely terrible. I’m making $21/hr and shift differential is negligible at about $2-4 on nights/weekends. I feel like my responsibilities as an LPN we’re not clearly defined and the list keeps growing. They just now implemented preceptor pay for LPNs ($1.50/hr). For the amount of work they have us doing, the pay certainly needs to be increased as it’s not even competitive with Advent. I know they are having a tough time hiring LPNs and this might explain why. I only took the job knowing that I’m taking a pay cut because I wanted to work in a specialty. I can see why all of my coworkers have been in the department for less than a year. LPNs are getting ran through/burnt out. It doesn’t take long to see this. They have got to work on retention.

Pros

As an organization, I truly believe that Orlando Health truly means well and truly does care about its team members and the community they serve. Their benefits are very good and pay rates are competitive

Cons

I left OH after more than 16 years, and the decision ultimately came down to a deeply ingrained lack of respect for critical frontline teams. My Field Support team was responsible for supporting every merger and acquisition, every major upgrade, and the day-to-day operation of all computer equipment across the organization. Despite this, we were consistently overlooked and rarely acknowledged in large meetings, while other teams received recognition. The breaking point came during a meeting with the Senior Director of IT/CE Operations (now Assistant Vice President), when I was asked about my job satisfaction. I raised a straightforward concern: that my team’s contributions were significant and deserved the same visibility and respect as others. The response was direct and telling: "Respect? That's never going to happen,” and he continued "You are merely a commodity that is only noticed if you fail." that made the culture and leadership mindset unmistakably clear. After 16 years of dedication, I chose to leave an environment where essential work is taken for granted and respect is not given equally and is impossible to be earned.
