Former Employee – worked at HCA full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Great company... Good co-workers when at lower level than management, great benefits

Cons – Not enough workers to keep up with responsibilities, upper management at Corporate CSS was and from I hear is still HORRIBLE

Advice to Senior Management – You all need to come live in the REAL WORLD and take calls for a month and see how you are treated when you are on a call with someone who doesn't know or want to do what you are letting them know the need to DO!!!!!

Former Employee – worked at HCA

Pros – Compensation was above average
Great Benefits package
Company is solid, making money
Flexible schedule

Cons – They will work you to death and there is no work/life balance.
Management acts as if they are too good to roll up their sleeves and work. Instead, subordinates are expected to do the work of several people often resulting in long hours and overtime.
Although they offer a flexible schedule, the workload rarely permits you to take advantage.

Advice to Senior Management – Pay attention and do some investigating as to what is really going on at "corporate" locations that are not located in Nashville, but rather in remote locations.

Former Employee – worked at HCA

Pros – There are great people that work there and good resources. There is good work life balance and it is a fairly stable company.

Cons – Used to be a great company and is now only mediocre. After the LBO, the company began to treat its employees with less respect.

Advice to Senior Management – Manage the company as it was managed when Dr. Frist was still in control. Control your greed and treat your employees with more respect.

Current Employee – been working at HCA

Pros – Salaries are OK, that's the best thing about this company.

Cons – There are to many software systems used within HCA, no uniformity. This makes work alot more time consuming than it has to be for little simple things. This is insane!!!

Advice to Senior Management – Invest in technology, there are to many software systems that are outdated used by HCA. - WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY! Also this will make your employees lives more easier.

Current Employee – been working at HCA

Pros – location, diversity, nice people, multiple offices, and multiple locations

Cons – crappy benefits, no promotions, not movtivated, only cares about Senior management, and treats everyone else like nobodys

Advice to Senior Management – treat people fairly

Current Employee – been working at HCA

Pros – They have an excellent benefits package, friendly atmosphere, and flexible work hours. Overall it is a very stable company and the expectations of management are very consistent.

Cons – There is a limited upside to create a career path. There is no incentive bonus structure. There is little to no guidance on advancement opportunity in the company.

Advice to Senior Management – Reinstate bonuses, create clear pathways for advancement. Encourage managers to identify and submit employees as good candidates for promotion. Let people know they are valued rather than wait for them to leave for a better job.

Current Employee – been working at HCA

Pros – the people that surround me on a daily basis, excluding management
fantastic benefits, in my opinion (even though it's always best to use an HCA facility)

Cons – some of the management team need to take courses on dealing with different personalities/ethnicities in the workplace
there should never be retaliation or threats for speaking to someone about management's behavior
receiving mass emails about how financially stable and well the company is doing, and reading how much a senior hca individual makes, while job performance at the lower level is not even measured on how well someone does their job. performance evaluations done, but the reward is the same regardless of how well or how bad you perform on a daily basis.

Advice to Senior Management – bring back incentives so that employees not only feel appreciated but feel like they are performing to meet a certain goal/expectation and getting rewarded for it.
