Spectrum experience - Community Support Specialist Spectrum Health Employee Review

Competitive PTO accrual, self-scheduling, ample professional growth opportunities, supportive management

Occasionally poor staffing ratios with high census surges

The best reasons to work at Spectrum are all the opportunities Spectrum gives their employees. I am a nurse aide right now and I am in school to be a nurse. I can keep going higher and higher with my education and my career. I also love how they are willing to help me with school by tuition reimbursement. The third thing I love is how Spectrum's goals are so high, and at sometimes they seem unreachable, but we are all striving to be the best hospital and that is a good example. And when we do become the best hospital I will be proud to know that I was a part of it.

The biggest downside of working at Spectrum is how big the company is. I sometimes feel lost or that the company might care about my specific needs because there are so many other people that could replace me so quick. I have been on workmen's comp for a few months and sometimes I feel like my case manager and my boss really care, and then there are other times where I feel like they are trying to get me to quit, so they can get a new person to fill my spot. I also feel that Spectrum needs to think more like a smaller hospital and care more about the patients than the money.
