Current Employee – been working at Adventist Health

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?

Current Employee – been working at Adventist Health

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.

Current Employee – been working at Adventist Health

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.

Current Employee – been working at Adventist Health

Pros – I am supportive of the mission of the hospitals, but struggle with balancing the mission with making ends meet.

Cons – Not a lot really, other than politics. They are not willing to risk trying a better way of doing things. Policy does not allow it. Some managers are so focused on maintaining policy, they can't see the opportunities.

Advice to Senior Management – Set high goals and give people opportunities to try to reach them. Allow people to risk more, not necessarily by spending more money, but by utilizing the vision of the excellent people that work here. We spend too much money on consultants. There are many people that are just as intelligent that are not given the opportunities to achieve their own. But most of this gets strangled by the politics.
