Pros

The only pros are the wonderful coworkers. When I say coworkers this means workers that actually work the floors & take care of patients! This excludes management & administrators, they are to busy having meetings & meetings about meetings & staying in their offices.

Cons

Very top heavy in managers & administrators. Clueless as to what goes on. No appreciation ever shown to employees who work their butts off. Novant can't even show appreciation to employees @ Christmas. Managers & administrators reap nice bonus @ Christmas. Employees of every other dept received nothing!!!!!! The Doctor offices under Novant are also terrible!! Novant forces Doctors to spend only 15 minutes with patients & if they go over the 15 min or not see enough patients during the day then the Doctor loses pay. No focus on patient care in their hospitals or offices. Many Doctors are & have left because of this!

Pros

Had amazing insurance for a single person. It was like $4 a pay peroid for full coverage. Needed a heart test done? $25 for a co-pay and that was it. Pills? $8 for a months supply. Then when I got married it jumped to $120 a pay period. I'd consider this a lot of money because it was 10% of my take home pay for 40 hours of work as an RN!

Cons

Over worked, underpaid. I have a 4 year degree, worked there for 3 years and wasn't making $21.50 an hour. I worked 325 hours of OT my first year, 400 of overtime my second and only brought home $41K. Patient ratios are unsafe, 6-to-1 for nurses and 16-to-1 for CNAs. I did hear that once I left, sometimes the ratio would be 7-to-1 and the nursing supervisor would tell staff "just deal with it." Just deal with being charge, having 6 patients and offsites, and only making $21 an hour? Never again. I would work 5 days in a row, have one day off, then work then next 4 on. On my days off, I would get text from my assistant manager telling me to "Quit ignoring me and come in" even though she never took patients. She had no problem leaving at 3pm every Friday, but then they shoved it down our throats that Teamwork was a top priority and one of the 5 pillars of excellence. This was an insane place to work. I'd have my boss walk around talking about how money isn't important while I can't make ends meet as a nurse! Advice is to NOT WORK AT NHRMC. Oh, and because I left before my 5 years was up, I lost HALF of my vacation time I had earned while working there! My new hospital HR told me that NHRMC policy of taking your vacation time if you leave early was piracy. I almost quit nursing because NHRMC had such a stranglehold in the area. I moved to the NorthWest of the country and my pay doubled and I only take 3-to-1! Good riddance, NHRMC.

Pros

Senior leadership is driven and has gotten better about having a focus. Benefits cannot be beat!!!! :o) Employees care and are engaged in their work. Performance improvement has gotten better over the past 5 years as a direct result of the organization practicing Lean Methodology.

Cons

No diversity among upper management. About 7% of the leadership is non-Caucasian. Women in leadership is well represented and diversity among the the residency program is present. Opportunities for Black, Latino, Asian, and other races is not statistically divided or represented among the 200+ management and above positions, especially among the senior team.
