HCA Reviews

Pros

Caring and engaged leadership with a good vision.

Cons

Challenges of healthcare in todays world.

Pros

Cafeteria food is good. Some of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

Favoritism, not respecting experienced employees, not listening to suggestions from experienced employees, not holding certain employees to the same standards as others.

Advice to Senior Management

Look into the departments that have very large turnover. NOT due to being a college town. Most employees are afraid to come forward and complain.

Pros

Engagement of Senior Management at the facility level. Cutting edge IT and support starting at corporate and filtering down to individual facilities. Cutting edge adoption of nationwide best practices - before the feds and the private insurers say you have to.

Cons

Limited opportunity for advancement at my level. Am not doing the job I want to be doing.

Advice to Senior Management

Support more hybrid jobs for nurses. Not just bedside but in supportive roles as well.

Pros

HCA Has some of the best health benefits. Working for the corporate office is the best option. The giving back to the community is wonderful.

Cons

HCA corporate campus has a totally different feel and professionalism than any of their off site buildings. IF possible get hired to the main campus because the Metroplex buildings are all highly political and still very good ole boy mindset.

Advice to Senior Management

There is a corporate review done every year and the employees clearly express their dis satisfaction with management yet the same people are left in charge. Go back to doing exit interviews to see why your top talent is leaving.

poor communication about important projects

Advice to Senior Management

Go to Project Management class.
