Tenet Healthcare FAQ

Pros

Family / Individual healthcare coverage is comparable and competitive with similar companies.

Cons

The PTO policy has changed to a zero hour roll over from year to year. Whereas we used to cap out at 436 hours and could roll over all unused PTO, it is now a use it or lose it benefit which allows for absolutely no cushion of safety for employees who like to keep enough hours saved in case of major illnesses or injury. Generous PTO with a fair cap used to be my favorite part about working for Tenet, but that’s gone now. In my 20 years with the company I have seen the education benefits decimated, 401k employer match cut in half, employee stock purchase programs take hit after hit, healthcare benefits, while comparable to other companies, is not as good as it used to be, and they even took away the small bonus of a $25 gift card we used to receive around the Holidays. Now they have taken away the PTO rollover and the PTO sell back programs. The company only recognizes 5 paid holidays each year, however you must work the holiday in order to receive 8 hours holiday pay, even when working a 12 hour shift. At 20 years with the company I am capped out on my pay, and no longer receive raises. Now they are cutting my benefits. It feels like they’re pushing their long term employees away.
