Baptist Easley Hospital Reviews

Pros

Exceptionally positive, employee-focused, rewarding culture Great benefits, great teamwork throughout.

Cons

Fifty percent owned by GHS since 2009 - hope the culture doesn't suffer.

Advice to Management

Don't lose the great culture by becoming too much like GHS!

Pros

Nice staff to work with

Cons

No room for pay raise

Pros

Our clinic hours allow for days during the week off

Cons

Our staff is required to work on some Saturdays

Pros

Great co-workers and teamwork. Small facility.

Cons

Burnt out from never having any help/enough staffing.

Advice to Management

Patient safety should come before anything else. The staff here are incredible and work very hard to provide the best possible care, but can only handle so much and stretch so far.

Pros

Loved my job! I did authorizations for pediatric appts to begin with and then within a year I was over medical records.

Cons

Once I switched positions, one that was a lot more to handle, they did not want to increase my pay.

Advice to Management

I think "administrative associates" should not make the same amount. They may be different now but when I worked there a few of us had the same titles but I did the most work out of any but was paid the same amount as those who didn't do half as much as me.

Pros

Small, friendly hospital. If you need help people are willing to help. Since it is a small facility, always know which provider to contact for different needs.

Cons

I went 5 years without a increase in pay. New management is running old staff members off. Took away benefits such as Nurses Week gifts, Christmas bonuses and Hospital Week gifts.

Advice to Management

Value the opinions of your faithful employees. If you say something to an employee, then FOLLOW through (even if you change mind, keep 6hat employee in the loop). If an employee wants to change to another department, don't hold them back.

Pros

Great facility and clinical staff.

Cons

Policies not enforced equally. Department managers manipulate policies to their preference. Some upper management not suited or qualified for their jobs. High school atmosphere.

Advice to Management

Absence and holiday policies need to be reviewed. Staff that works 8 hour shifts should have different policy than staff working 12 hour shifts. Policies should be handled equally in each department. Promote more from within rather than looking outside for someone to "fix" department problems.

Pros

Very good hospital making strides to improve facilities, and expand services. Very impressed with most doctors and nurses there. Will continue to use as my primary care hospital.

Cons

The department I worked in had problems. I was there about 8 years and had 4 different managers during that time. There were alot of changes (some good, some bad). Management (upper and mid) was lacking and never followed through with concerns or requests.The hardest part of the job was being overwhelmed most of the time with a high census and short staffing.

Advice to Management

Talk to your front line employees to see what that actually are doing and dealing with on a daily basis. In an effort to "make things look good" supervisors and managers don't always let upper managment know what is wrong and what stafff needs.
