Current Employee – been working at Continuum Health Partners for more than 10 years

Pros – Patient ratio is reasonable.Flex time

Cons – Cancellation less than 2 hrs prior to work.Gets pulled out from an assign unit @ the middle of the tour or shift.Understaffed more often recently.

Advice to Senior Management – Hire more staff.& consider the acuity of patients in the unit before a staff get pulled to another unit @ the middle of the shift.Treat a supplement or perdiem staff to feel at home or part of the team.

Current Employee – been working at Continuum Health Partners full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – That ultimately you are helping to provide patient care, whether or not you interact directly with patients that is the common goal.

Cons – Company does not value its employees in the least. It's an incredibly disorganized environment but even worse, it doesn't seem like improvement is strived for.

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to your employees; start realizing this is a 2nd-tier institution and work to make it better.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Continuum Health Partners

Pros – -Health benefits (Union)
-Great location (near South St Seaport)

Cons – -job function lacks cerebral stimulation
-lack of formal training protocol (no training at all, really)

Advice to Senior Management – The saying 'you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar' comes to mind. Senior management seems to value the ability to control employees over production/revenue enhancement. I attended a Unit meeting that was about not being able to use headphones, limiting trips to the bathroom, and not having conversations with other employees. That meeting should have been about ways to increase revenue. It's sad, and demeaning, of course.

Former Employee – worked at Continuum Health Partners

Pros – Job stability is pretty much the only reason one should work here. Decent benefits, at least in terms of paid time off.

Cons – Promotions and career growth are based solely on seniority, not talent! It can only serve as a stepping stone to another company.

Advice to Senior Management – There are way too many levels of management here. Some departments have more managers than people to manage! The management here is quite lazy and needs to step it up or be replaced.

Current Employee – been working at Continuum Health Partners

Pros – Workers, (non-management), are competent and professional even under this harsh work environment.

There is a decent amount of vacation time.

Cons – The Data Center itself is in poor shape. The carpeting and bathrooms are filthy. Also, as often as not, the HVAC leaves you either too cold or too hot.

As a rule, management demeans and shows contempt for the staff.

Training to acquire new skills is non-existent.

There is no prioritization. Everything is urgent and needs to be done right away regardless of the amount of "urgent" things you're already working on.

You can pretty much forget raises and promotions unless you kiss up to the right people. Of course if you do that you risk being the one they'll throw under the bus when there's a problem.

Your personal life is inconsequential to management. As far as they're concerned you are expected to live and breathe work.

Turnover is sky high and management's response is to threaten people if they talk about it. In fact this can be said to be a standard response from management to any issue that reflects poorly on top leadership.

All things must be done with an eye towards covering yourself since finger pointing in the face of a problem outweighs solving the issue as far as management is concerned.

Management is extremely top-heavy and only about 1/4 know what they're doing with the rest simply look for someone to blame and fire when things go wrong.

Advice to Senior Management – The only advice I can offer is the following:
Please resign and take your stooges with you when you leave.

Current Employee – been working at Continuum Health Partners

Pros – 1. Large organization that allows mobility for skilled employees. 2. Hospitals are located in nice areas in Manhattan (not that you'll enjoy it much since you'll be working all the time). 3. Direct care staff is dedicated to quality service to the patients. 4. Good benefits and time off. 5. Competitive salaries. 6. There are one or two wonderful people that work there.

Cons – 1. Large and impersonal organization requires you to spend lots of time making sure you cover your rear as you do your job. 2. Dedication to patients is not seen in the administrative offices of the organization. 3. You have to know the right people to get ahead and the same right people will stab you in the back if they deem it necessary. 4. Executive leadership is out of touch with realities of the day to day operations. They just come up with crazy ideas that get dropped when the next crazy idea comes along. Few major projects come to fruition. 5. You are expected to sacrifice your personal life for the job.

Advice to Senior Management – Focus.
