Decent hospital with terrible 'good old times ' mentality

Business Outlook

Pros

Good bedside staff. Most of bedside people genuinely care about their patients. But old timers managers tried to run the show like it's their mom and pop business. Harsh on new hard workers and easy on their good old buddies. It's gets old eventually. Multicare does annual survey but never follow ups on the results. It gets frustrating and people just leave.

Cons

Terrible lower level management, benefits. Good place to work for if you do not have other options and do not want to drive to far places. But retirement plans are sub par, health benefits are expensive and gain sharing is hard to achieve for bedside staff. Executives still gets big bonuses and multicare gets to keep it's not for profit status. Government and corporate collaboration at its finest.

Although you may not have realized it, MultiCare pays a great deal of attention to the results of our annual Employee Engagement Survey. In fact, the results impact the performance review ratings for our managers. Those ratings impact whether managers receive annual pay increases and whether they are eligible for a performance-based bonus. Every manager at MultiCare is required to have an action plan to address concerns that are shared in the engagement survey. Regarding our benefits and retirement plan, we have made adjustments that are in line with changes being made across our industry. We continue to pay the majority of premium costs for our employees and to heavily subsidize family coverage. Like most employers, MultiCare has transitioned from a “defined benefit” pension plan to a “defined contribution” plan with an employer contribution and optional employee contribution.

Pros

Opportunity to advance in career field or try out a different direction. Multiple sites so there is bound to be one close to home. Those who have weathered many, many storms within the company and still remain loyal are testimonies of integrity and compassionate people who are always glorious to work with.

Cons

I can't speak for all departments but when clinic after clinic and department after department decide that a Union is the only way to receive what Multicare says it provides shows self, others and the community something different. In my experience (through watching it happen to others), open door policy means- "the door is open, I will hear you talk and then dismiss all you said..." With department directors on top of department managers on top of department leads on top of department supervisors who then all manage (instead of lead) the "workers" there is a continuing difficulty with accountability and an increasingly consistent scapegoating. Amazing professionals are parented...not lead by example and integrity. Again, this may only be exclusive within the psychology/community behavior programs. The turn over is atrociously high, in almost ALL departments with in behavioral health, especially adult services.

We acknowledge the right of our employees to join a union and honor the terms of our existing union contracts. Currently, less than half of our workforce is represented by a union. Ultimately, we continue to believe that it is always in the best interest of both employee and employer to maintain a direct relationship rather than having the interference of a third party. We wish you the best as you pursue a position outside of MultiCare.
