Maybe don’t the best Organization since they are laying employees off!

Patient access manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They care about the patients and they use to care about their employees. Decent benefits, and the overall atmosphere and people working at the organization was great.

Cons

They are in financial trouble and laying people off. No longer job security with Ochsner. They do not compensate you fairly but instead continue to add on more responsibilities, departments and team members for the same pay.

Decent overall but lots of room for improvement

Senior leadership

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Front line managers and rank and file are highly committed to the advancing the company There are a lot of good people in all areas of the company trying to do the right thing Culture of innovation

Cons

Lots of dissention in the senior leadership ranks that created toxicity that made its way down into the rest of the department. They would put on a face that everything was happy, but everyone saw through the charade. Even high performers don't get merit increases that are anywhere close to the current rate of inflation. Given that I'm sure most of the senior leadership voted for the current administration that has caused this inflation, they helped create this problem. Constant bombardment of woke talking points. It's very obvious that this company only values people that check certain boxes. The level of thought policing that they attempted was very 1984-ish. COVID vaccine mandate. Given what we know now, this was an incredibly short-sighted approach. Current financial situation is so bad that they can't even open backfills for individuals leaving the organization.

High Resource Low Pay

Registered nurse, emergency room

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of equipment and supplies Flexible scheduling

Cons

Hospital hierarchy reinforced by management (ex. nurse parking lot twice as far as resident parking lot, service calls prioritized based on role within hospital, etc.) Unreasonable expectations from management Unsafe working conditions No tech/patient care assistance for nurses due to high volume of psych patients requiring 1:1 supervision from tech staff
