Pros

My 13+ years of experience with Novant Health has been largely in the ambulatory and corporate environments. The company has no shortage of clinical and clerical staff that come to their jobs each day for the right reasons. I can't think of one peer that doesn't want to take care of the patients and do his/her job well.

Cons

Unfortunately, a seemingly endless stream of micro-managing, untrusting and passive aggressive leaders continues to keep Novant Health from really reaching its' potential as a leader in the healthcare industry. We often lack the tools and information needed to work at our best, and I have personally lost count of the times I have been "coached" by supervisors for what has amounted to senseless gossip and back-biting among peers. Rather than focus on who said what to whom, I wish our leaders would pay attention to the working contributions of their staff. When the leaders get in the middle of sand-box battles, they seem unreliable, untrustworthy, and immature.

Pros

Other than the people I worked with, there aren't any pros that i can think of

Cons

Experience doesn't mean anything to Novant, the more degrees and the better that you know how to suck up to upper management I'd the name of the game. People who spread rumors and lies are the people who get listened to, and their "truth" get honest, decent, hardworking people called on the carpet at least weekly until the innocent person is written up, gets fed up, and leaves. These same "truthbringers" are also the ones who get promoted over the ones with actual experience. Units are understaffed, staff is overworked, and the supposed not for profit organization only concerns itself with their bottom line. Administration makes the decisions without knowing or caring how it will truly affect patient safety. Finally, their shared governance is a joke, it's there so they can apply for and get Magnet status.

Pros

I liked My colleges, I liked my contact with customers/ patients. I liked the fact that I reported directly to the Director of Nursing and the COO. I liked the fact that I had a global view of the whole facility.

Cons

Administration at highest levels makes poor choices. Most changes are based on productivity and reimbursement not acuity. The hours take their toll on your personal life and health. Many poor choices on advancement of some employees. The trend at the present is to remove long term employees that have higher salaries and benefits for newer employees that just say "yes" and lack critical thinking skills. Recent layoff of 400 people was unexpected, and the estimates of total loss of jobs is not accurate- few people are being offered similar positions elsewhere, typically it is a newly created position with less compensation.
