Management will not advocate for employees, tons of favoritism, and they are EXPERTS at burning you out and somehow not paying you for it.
Example: you sign up for an extra shift, you show up, get the toughest assignment, then they’ll send you home early so you don’t get the full bonus pay. Bonus shifts are offered in hour increments, ex: $50 for 4 hours. They’ll send you home at hour 3.5. If you’re going through personal hardships, they don’t give a flying bird.
Pregnant and have to pee? Don’t expect to be given a break. The Women’s hospital is “pro breastfeeding” and they have this beautiful gift shop dedicated to breastfeeding, yet if you are an employee that is pumping, don’t expect a pump break (even though they have a policy that grants you a pump break).
PTO accrues per hour worked, which takes a while to accumulate, but don’t feel hopeful, because you’ll never get time off approved. The only people who ever got time off approved in the 6 years I worked there were the ones who had been there for 20+ years, I am not exaggerating.
Big wage gaps and pay discrimination.
Ex: they offer nurses $1,000 bonus, the surgical techs only get $450—and who’s doing the more laborious job? Yep, you guessed it.
For those seeking religious or medical exemptions (from the you know what), forget it, they will grant you a “permanent exemption” and then a few months later ask you to resubmit. They have this extremely ridiculous and long exemption form too.
Opportunity for advancement? Sure! Climb the ladder to ST 3, but don’t expect to get a leadership position. (Might be possible in the Main OR, but not in the Women’s OR).
Low pay
HORRIBLE PTO package
Management will take credit for ideas suggested by employees and never give credit where it’s due.
