Current Employee – been working at OU Medical Center full-time for more than a year

Pros – Solid place to work and many people have been here for several years.

Cons – To much Red Tape and an outside company (Sodexo) hired to Manage our department. It appears that Sodexo is slowing taking over our Department. They are constantly hiring more management and they cannot fill our open positions.

Advice to Senior Management – Talk to the people who actually work for OUMC and stop accepting the opinions of outside self-promoting company.

Former Employee – worked at OU Medical Center full-time for more than a year

Pros – Decent benefits, good coworkers, fast-paced environment, tons of learning opportunities, decent chances of advancement

Cons – For registration only: horrible pay, too many responsibilities, no one ever gets fired for any reason unless they will NOT receive unemployment

Advice to Senior Management – None. Management is amazing, but they can't do much of anything without HRs approval. HR is absolutely DREADFUL to deal with.

Current Employee – been working at OU Medical Center

Pros – This job is just ok. The benefits and pay I receive I believe are very good.

Cons – The management shows favoritism to employees. Employees are not praised or rewarded adequately unless they are a boss' "pet." When higher management is aware of this but doesn't listen, you know there is a problem...

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to what people are telling you. They will only work so hard out of fear of losing their job

Current Employee – been working at OU Medical Center

Pros – The pto accrual. You can sell your pto for cash. The health benefits (if in-network provider). Communication. Flexibility.

Cons – Some people have worked here a long time, and change doesn't come easy for them. Sometimes those people hinder good processes and practices.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep getting better!

Current Employee – been working at OU Medical Center

Pros – Start off with matching 401k at 3%
Lots of horizontal mobility to different units.
Teaching hospital.
Trauma 1 facility.
Low cost limited life insurance.
Some units have a lot of equipment/technology.
You see all those nice buildings on campus? Not really HCA; foundations provide the cool things which is a pro and a con.

Cons – It takes 2 years to become 20% vested in 401k.
Constant flow of pompous residents.
Lack of doc ordered parameters.
HCA Rewards benefits package is a joke. The consumer savings programs don't save money.
Expensive short term disability insurance.
Corporate leaders constantly cashing out HCA's assets and making outstanding returns for themselves at the detriment of the company, its employees, and patients.
Mandatory assigned parking at off-site garage is time consuming and a hassle.
Some units lack a lot of equipment/technology.
Computerized charting is DOS (ancient) based.

Advice to Senior Management – Quit bsing with your workers. Quit sugarcoating bad news. Quit telling nurses that they should be self sacrificing. Quit making false promises.
Needs real profit sharing.
Red Luncheon is a joke.

Current Employee – been working at OU Medical Center

Pros – Oklahoma City is a good place to live. The campus is growing and new buildings are continuing to go up. Nursing staff is capable of handling things on own as compared to other university hospitals. Compared to other residency hospitals the salary is very reasonable considering the cost of living.

Cons – Some of the residency programs (not all) can be very malignant. The computer system is awful to use throughout both hospitals. The ER is ran by a outside group with no residents. Occasionally this mean ER docs will not do certain things that is usually expected of them.

Advice to Senior Management – Treat residents with better respect, no need to belittle, and bully them. Work on improving the computer system. The efficiency of the OR needs to be addressed.

Former Employee – worked at OU Medical Center

Pros – Great place to work, collaborative and friendly environment. The annual check-up attracts many OU students, and receives good feedback from those who used the service.

Cons – Currently I can think of nothing. All the employees were enjoying many benefits from the current policy. Although, sometime the workload could be heavy.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep doing what you are doing. Even though I have no longer been working at OU Medical Care center, I would definitely recommend my friends if they want to work there.
