Stressful and mismanaged

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

If it is close to home and you can take the stress, it's a good place to work. Compensation is better than other places.

Cons

Lack of parking! Office politics and business as usual. Mismanagement or lack thereof. Once you are hired on, you would have to try really hard to get fired. Patient care is lacking. Stress, stress, stress... Changes or "upgrades" to software make things slower or harder to use. Getting something changed takes months, not weeks or just days. There is a new CEO. Currently they are cutting a ton of jobs and letting people go.

MultiCare is rapidly changing to meet the demands of both the Affordable Care Act and changing consumer expectations of healthcare providers. We recognize that change can be stressful. One of the changes we’re making is to build a culture of high accountability. While our culture is not a good fit for everyone, we believe it is a great environment for high achievers who thrive on change and want to make a difference in their community.

Toxic Environment

Pros

Staff were consistently inconsistent. They did the best that they could but did not have the tools nor the initiative to do so.

Cons

Leadership was fantastic when the cameras were on, but awful and toxic and downright mean when not. Patients were not as well taken care of, not by the staff nurses, but by the management setting the "rules". Too much was expected by too few people and most of the few were entrenched and not encouraged or wanted to do what was the right thing for patients. Too much thinking about Rules and the Finances that patient care for sure took a back seat.

Given the many changes in healthcare, financial stewardship is more important than ever. But, it should never take priority over quality patient care. It’s disappointing to hear that your personal experience with some of our leaders has been inconsistent with our values of respect, integrity and kindness. We would encourage you to share your concerns with Employee Relations so they can be addressed.

Pros

Some managers are wonderful, great nurses.

Cons

Very money focused and not patient care focused try to constantly increase work load and find ways so patients can only use their facilities. Waste money on massive marketing and talk horribly about and try to put out other companies out. Very snobbish but all talk. They are in business to make money. Not really an real "non profit" Some clinic managers have medical experience and some don't. Some don't know the difference between a nurse and an MA. They have MA's training Nurses!

We view financial stewardship and quality care as inter-dependent goals. Recent changes in our industry have made it more important than ever to manage expenses so we can continue to improve the health of our community. While some roles require specific clinical background, others require different education and skills. Each job has carefully defined requirements based on the nature of the role and regulatory requirements.
