Great doctors and staff to work with

They hire traveling nurses (which are great) but they should be hiring local for a more stable hospital/staff environment.
I worked at Appalachian Regional Healthcare full-time
Pros
nothing good about this company. run.. don't even think of getting a job here. a very toxic environment. especially with management.
Cons
vindictive, and punitive. they will go after your license. it is whom you know not what you know. so backward in everything including the way the hospital is managed.
Advice to Management
listen to your staff. the worst place to work. better to be unemployed than work in this place. the locals hate this hospital. Managers don't even have a bachelors degree. so how do you expect this place to work?

Close knit company and offer room for advancement

When promoting from within, increase compensation to same level you would have to pay someone joining the company from outside the company
I worked at Appalachian Regional Healthcare full-time
Pros
Standardized pay grades and raises, you know what you will be making based on your qualifications.
Cons
Not enough staff in almost all departments. This leaves staff stressed and in a bad mood and does not promote a good work environment, in addition to decreasing patient care.
Advice to Management
You are an expanding company, understand that with the increase in patient load you will need to increase staff to compensate for this.
I worked at Appalachian Regional Healthcare full-time for more than 2 years
Pros
Great coworkers, steady and stable company, benefits are okay. You could do much worse in Eastern KY.
Cons
Pay is horrifyingly low. It isn't anywhere near similar to pay in Lexington. Further, if they figure out you are competent you will do your job and many others as well. It has a tendency to balloon. That further complicates the fact that you are already underpaid. Frustration just builds and builds. Old school mentality. It definitely depends on who you know if you want to get ahead. Also how you look and present...

Talent and hard work should be rewarded. There is a lot of glory stealing by administration. Look deeper. Really learn your business and those people in the lower positions. I think you will find extremely dedicated people but this company could definitely use a shakeup. You have a lot of unproductive, dead weight. Then there are extremely dedicated hard working people that are not rewarded. It is very frustrating...
