Michael H. Covert
Current Employee – been working at Palomar Health full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Palomar Health operates a beautiful new hospital in west Escondido, plus Pomerado Hospital and other satellite locations around north county.
Cons – The health care district served by Palomar Health faces stiff competition from hospitals. This can sometimes mean that if census is down, hours get cut.

Current Employee – been working at Palomar Health
Pros – job with a steady income but other than that and he nearly perfect climate of the San Diego area, I can't think of a single thing.
Cons – They try to save money in every aspect which obviously will affect patient care-and satisfaction or lack there of. But if patient satisfaction scores are below 90% the staff don't get a raise. The CEO on the other hand gets a huge bonus for saving the organization money!
Advice to Senior Management – Improve your computer charting system or expect staff frustration. Don't let the hospital become another "Sharp" hospital where the employees are there for the money only and don't care about the service they provide. I see it heading that way.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Palomar Health
Pros – The patient is our number one priority in the O.R. and the my coworkers make everyday worth while.
Cons – I believe that some of the supervising staff is a little excessive and that some are lacking general O.R. knowledge to be in a supervisor position.
Advice to Senior Management – Make sure people are competent with the general areas of their job before hiring them. I believe that the care of the patient is the number one goal so praise those who do it well!! I love working for this company!
