UnityPoint Health reviews about "bonus"

Not as many perks as other Health care facilities in the area. Example: Outings or recognition for all different professions. We do get a bonus depending on our outcomes for the year, which is awesome! I love my job!

2nd level management is out of control. They are mean and treat employees like cogs in a machine. I was told to make "less than one error per month" while my manger regularly messed things up. I was regularly reprimanded for asking questions and my manager did not require us to act like a team and work things out. Tattling was common and favorites were chosen. When issues are brought up with HR or senior management the answer is "your manager is your manager and can manage you how he/she chooses." Everyone I talk to that used to work at UnityPoint says the same and current employees I still talk to claim the organization is rigid.

Staff turnover is insanely high in the lab. This means constant signups and overtime, which is good if you want to make a lot of money and have no life. Bad, if no one signs up and you're stuck dealing with operating a lab with a large volume of specimens that doesn't stop because there's no workers. If you make friends at your job, there is a good chance they won't be there in a few years. This is most likely due to a general apathetic treatment from management, high workloads where you are being highly scruitinzed (and not being rewarded for good work), and that extra 25% of people who AREN'T awesome to work with are pretty unfriendly and bitter...especially to new hires. As far as non-lab coworkers, most all of the doctors and about half of the nurses are wonderful to deal with. The other half will downright treat you like garbage (and get away with it, even if they scream and hang up on you just for doing your job and you write them up for it).

Well, it seemed rather insulting to be giving a lot of staff very minimal in terms of annual review raises, while the upper top level administrators are giving themselves rather exorbitant bonuses. The reason being staff got stiffed? Unable to meet department goals placed by administration. Some staff were lucky to get 0.5-1% increases despite going above and beyond at their job performance. Yet at the same time, I see these same staff going out of their way to donate PTO hours or other supplies to help those much less fortunate themselves. Tragic. As I stated in the beginning, UnityPoint is heading in a downward trend at a rapid pace, and it will take some extensive intervention for things to fix themselves. And it all starts at the top. The hospital CEO that I work at (Not Mr. Vermeer) is incompetent. Due to this fact, people that work beside and underneath our CEO are taking advantage of the lack of self awareness, pushing their own agendas and furthering their careers at the expense of everyone else. We have newer and younger employees that have worked themselves up to leadership positions, and that in itself is no problem. But these same "leaders" are not mature enough to handle their positions, and the strain is showing. Workplace culture has declined. Unprofessionalism has become more prevalent than ever. And, most unfortunate of all, these same people being placed into these positions are being set up to fail by the same self interested upper management employees. That in itself is going to create a very powerful negative feedback loop that will echo and continue to cause the decline of UnityPoint unless action is taken TODAY.

Poor pay No bonuses Inconsistent between campuses

Difficult to get full time hours

No bonuses and small raises

Lack of accountability for those who arent good leaders

It’s healthcare so the chances of being appropriately staffed are the exception not the rule. Personally, I feel that the people you work with determine how much it effects your shift. I work with an amazing group of Nurses and CNAs who put in 100 % to get through each night. If the words “that’s not my job” are part of your vocabulary, it’s very likely you are not part of a team or coachable.
