UnityPoint Health reviews about "pto"

Productivity/staffing problems, pay is below market value in Peoria, IL., and 401k is only 3% match

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).

Micromanagement Excessive productivity quota Managers obsess over productivity/quantity vs quality of work Hard to communicate with managers and supervisors, they are always gone or in meetings and take days or weeks to answer emails

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.

Maternity/paternity leave not good (at regional level - had to take short term leave and went back to no PTO, nothing is currently established), low growth in positions

We are short providers so they are forcing us to use our PTO, float to another clinic but not get the pay incentive a float gets or take a day off with no pay. Recently informed this could be 1-3 days a week. Very disappointing.

PTO not great for hourly employees. It's better for salary employees. Holidays come out of PTO balance.

Non-transparent C-Suite. Not a mature corporate structure, affiliate staff sometimes don't like being subject to corporate ways of doing things.

Management doesn’t care, mice and flies in food service areas, work you overtime constantly, never get the time off you request, horrible co-workers, issues with co-workers never get dealt with, HR doesn’t care, unreasonable requests, no one likes their job, constantly hearing complaints, no room for growth or movement within the company.
