Baltimore, MD

Current Employee – been working at Johns Hopkins part-time for more than a year

Pros-the name/reputation of course
-amaaazing benefits..health/dental/pharm coverage pays for so much
-a lot of opportunities to stay in the company and move around since Hopkins' name is everywhere (ie Bayview, JHU, Suburban, JH Community Physicians etc..)

Cons-staff is treated horribly, especially the nurses. Mostly its the scheduling/staffing of the floor. Too many patients per nurse= patient care goes down= patient conditions deteriorate
-the budget is cut down to the bare bones, causing staff shortages (see above)

Advice to Senior Managementfix the budget! Put the money in the most important place....your employees! What's it matter if the hospital gets a new, top-of-the-line MRI machine if there's no money left over to hire someone to operate it?

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

Baltimore, MD

Current Employee – been working at Johns Hopkins full-time for more than 7 years

ProsFantastic place to work, great facilities, flexible hours at some departments, including mine (Electrical Engineering). Great infrastructure. There is enough opportunity for growth.

ConsLow payment, bad parking facility. The city is not great as such, full of crime. There is safety issues around the Medical Campus, although it is less of a concern around Homewood.

Advice to Senior ManagementParking facilities can be improved

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Pros-Feel like you are affecting real-world change.
-Are part of a very large community.
-Good benefits and resources.
-The emphasis on diversity and acceptance in all forms is the best I have ever seen.

Cons-Often decentralized with lack of communication between silos.
-Can find one's self in a dead-end if not careful.
-Things can move very slowly in a career path, particularly with salaries.

Advice to Senior ManagementShare more at all levels and allow those at all levels occasional access to leadership.
