Pros

Good wages, due only to union pressure. Decent benefits, but could be better considering it is a hospital after all.

Cons

This place is run by incompetent workers who have been promoted to managers solely on seniority and not based on any experience or leadership skills. This results in people who mistreat their employees and "boss them around". If it weren't for the unions in the hospital the work conditions would be even more deplorable for those in the lower-end jobs such kitchen, cleaning and possibly nurses and nurses' assistants. After what I've witnessed as an employee I will not even go there as a patient.

Pros

Great benefits... great coworkers...all jobs support saving lives so it's fulfilling.

Cons

Big organization. Hard to find employee parking in some locations. A lot of management change at the very top. Satisfaction seemed very tied to who your VP/C level was. New CEO is excellent and brought organization into profitability in a short time.

Pros

The hospital pays decent wages to RNs for the area. Benefits, while not the best, are akin to the area norm.

Cons

Management only cares about expansion. There is no respect shown to the RNs. Experienced nurses are treated as if they have no value, are expendable, and easily replaced. If desire for positive change is expressed in my unit, RNs are told they can look elsewhere for another job. Nurses are afraid to speak up. Poor working conditions thrive in this hospital because of the culture of fear. I have been astounded by the recent experiences I have had with a multitude of unethical employees in various roles in management, on the unit, and in Human Resources. Because the unethical behavior has been experienced from so many people at different levels and in so many positions, I can only assume this is the norm in SMC hospital culture. In summary, I do not recommend to my friends or family that they become patients in this hospital. Many advertising dollars create an appearance that does not exist in reality.
