Upper management is… many things. One is that it’s painfully obvious that you become a remote, high up position through family or some connection in a community. If you aren’t in that particular community, it won’t happen. Two: ZERO and I have worked ten years in hospitals, outpatient you name it. SEV offers absolutely zero incentives. No annual pay increase (maybe because it’s so rare?) no holiday pay, and the company is christian. Closed for Good Friday, no pay. Open Christmas Eve. Closed Sundays (love that), No pto. Zero. Minimum legal requirement sick pay (3 days as of 2024 I believe), but base pay is $38 starting, after 90 days its $40. New grad or vereran nurse, $40, we literally rely solely on tips. Tips can vary depending on even what room you’re assigned to. Groupon rooms are prepaid clients who got a massive discount. Average 0-$3 tip per person there. However, Ive had $400 days off tips alone.
Third and by far the most offensive con: they decided to change business hours November 23. Some had already been there a year or close. We went from 9;45 am-7-7:30 pm, so 3-4 shifts/week full time. Guaranteed minimum one hour overtime DAILY. Now we are 7:45 am-4-4:15 pm (day shift, 8 hours) or 4-8:30-9 pm (depending on clients, part time and 5 hours MAX (rare). Saturdays became 7:45-6:30 so i decided better always work Saturdays because i wont take a huge hit losing overtime. Nope! In a week Saturdays go back to original hours. Not to mention nobody asked, checked in or really evaluated the massive changes. Its sow that in general income for all of us is down by 33% average. Pretty big. Everyone hates it, some clients like the later options for after work, but nurses are miserable and hurting financially. We petitioned for a raise, 14 nurses signed. Inflation. No overtime. Swift no for that answer. They hire and are training new people almost weekly. It must cost a FORTUNE. Nobody ever asks why turnover is so insane. They don’t care.
