Life at Summa

Staff Nurse (Current Employee)
Akron, OH

I have been working at Summa Health System

ProsEasily accessible from most locations.

ConsSalary and staffing could be better. Parking is inadequate, but they are working on it.

Advice to Senior ManagementListen to your employees. When there is an issue regarding employee retention, and possible plans of action are recommended, why not at least give it a trial? The same problems have been going on for at least 20 years and are not being addressed adequately. You are constantly losing valuable experienced emplyees due to lack of satsfaction.
