Adventist Health Reviews

Pros

pay is where it should be. new technology and computer systems.

Cons

constant changes in staffing, small size of department feels cramped.

Advice to Senior Management

retain staff to have continuity.

Pros

Adventist has a good overall compensation package and like any other healthcare organization they have good health benefits. Some managers are very understanding regarding PTO.

Cons

Lack of leadership is a systemic problem at Adventist Health. Senior management constantly bad mouths each other in front of staff. Also, if you are Adventist you will have opportunities that non-Adventist do not have. I was in an interview when one Adventist employee said to an Adventist job candidate that he would have more opportunities just because he was Adventist. I cannot tell you the number of times that I have witnessed an Adventist "Prince" or "Princess" screw up with no consequences.

Advice to Senior Management

Wake up. I understand that you do no want to "dilute" leadership with non-Adventist leaders but your current Adventist leadership is below average. The only reason you succeed is because most of your hospitals are in small markets where they are king of the hill. Look at your hospitals in larger markets... they are not doing so well are they?

Pros

I am a born again Christian and I am proud to say that I have over the years been able to pray with many patients. I know that God gave me "divine appointments " with many of my patients that I was able to bring comfort just at the right time. Even with family members as well as co-workers. This is what I call being GODS hands on earth. If we just listen, the Holy Spirit will allow us many opportunities to minister to those hurting all around us.

Cons

When I tried to think of the cons.....sorry, I wasnt able to come up with any cons....I guess if I have to say one, it might be that a few more $$$ added to the salary...(hourly wage).

Advice to Senior Management

Always be fair and the type of leader that your employees will admire and want to do their very best for you and want to make you look good for your boss. Keep The Lord as center of your focus. Then HE will prosper your business.

Pros

The camaraderie and support given from both leadership and peers demonstrates the mission of AH internally, that in turn impact the direct care provided to the patients.

Cons

Right now the only downside is that there are not enough staff to effectively to keep our department moving smoothly.

Advice to Senior Management

I have seen a big difference this last year in the leadership and their accessibility to the patient care providers. Keep coming "down" the ranks, to get "dirty" with the hands on care.

Pros

The people that you work with

Cons

lack of leadership and direction
