Pros

Benefits and compensation are okay. Some of the people are the most wonderful people you will meet in your life.

Cons

People in management are antisocial and will bully you. Managers are often underqualified and don't possess the experience, knowledge or credentials they should and in turn don't support their staff. I reported a director who was verbally abusive to staff and has a history of making lewd remarks (i.e., ageist, racist, and sexist). I will never make that mistake again. I suffered the repercussions of a very punitive system, and was reassured that what I said was confidential. I feel so overstressed and overworked that I will be leaving the organization soon. The turnover rate is very high. Engagement surveys are nonsense as a director had the lowest scores in all of Multicare and yet he still continues to work there despite multiple complaints. He is also the cause of the turnover and Multicare continues to protect him.

I will first respond to your allegation of abusive Director. Abuse (verbal or otherwise) is grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination. If you have not already contacted Employee Relations, we encourage you to do so right away. I also want to address your comments about MultiCare leaders. We recognize that it can be frustrating when you see gaps in a leader and don’t see anything behind done to address those gaps. However, we have already exited a number of ineffective leaders across our system and are working with others to improve their behaviors and/or results. The Employee Engagement survey is an important tool we use to evaluate manager effectiveness. Again, if you have concerns, we encourage you to contact Employee Relations. Finally, although employee turnover may feel high, at around 10% it is in line with other healthcare systems across the country. It is still higher than we would like, and we are working hard to address the underlying reasons that good employees leave, including manager effectiveness.

Pros

The people that work here for the most part are great. Benefits are okay.

Cons

Multicare will stop at nothing for money. They are a white collar sweatshop. They masquerade as a not for profit and yet the CEO makes millions while they lay off housekeepers and cafeteria staff. There are sociopaths in management and don't waste your time going up the chain of command or using their hotline. They do NOTHING and your supervisor will know what you report. A nurse who was witnessed assaulting a patient still works there. While an investigation was going on the nurse was permitted to continue working. They are notorious for cover ups, Google it and see the number of lawsuits they've had.

When allegations of misconduct are received, they are investigated thoroughly and appropriate action is taken, up to and including termination. Without knowing more of the details behind the case you shared, it is impossible to provide additional comments. Regarding layoffs, we have had to make difficult choices – some involving layoffs. Although our financial results have been very good in recent years, the amount we get paid for our services is declining. When revenues exceed expenses, the resulting “margin” is reinvested in new facilities, equipment, systems and staff. A portion of this positive margin is shared with employees through our “Gainsharing” program. The new hospital in Covington and the new inpatient psychiatric unit at Auburn Medical Center are two examples of how we are investing positive margins to address critical healthcare needs in our communities.
