Erie County Medical Center Reviews

Pros

You work among other professionals who also support the best plan of operations.

Cons

Not everyone is cut from the same cloth. Other shifts work more efficiently and better than most.

Advice to Management

We use good judgement of character for hiring. Although, we also need to have a physical fitness test. Subordinates in the HPSA have to be goal oriented with a high level of fitness.

Pros

Good benefits, friendly people, easy workload and workday

Cons

Management talks behind your back and is petty

Pros

Coworkers, pension- truly all I can think of. Twenty word minimum is hard to meet. I’ll say it again , coworkers and pension .

Cons

There are more middle managers than nurses to take care of patients. Administration always expects more with less. Patient satisfaction is a priority but how can the nursing staff provide all the needs for the patient when they’re aren’t enough of us to take care of even the minimum let alone go above and beyond. Staff satisfaction is at an all time low throughout the hospital, but no one is irreplaceable and we all can...

Advice to Management

More staff nurses , not more team leaders. Help the people who help he patients. If everyone in management didn’t come to work tomorrow the hospital would still run. If all of the staff nurses didn’t come to work tomorrow the place would have to shut down. Treat nurses like they matter.

Pros

The only pro I have is that there is a pension.

Cons

This employer doesn't care about it's patients or employees. I work at Terraceview and can't wait to move to the hospital. Staffing always pressuring you to work extra shifts then they leave you to be responsible for an entire unit alone. It's not safe and employess are constantly worried about something happening and losing license because they don't staff properly.

Advice to Management

Take better care of your employees. Stop asking us to stay for overtime and leaving us understaffed then write people up for clerical errors. One hand washes the other. You want us to work and stay extra for you but then are quick to say no if we need a day off. This place is awful!!! Then they block you from moving to the hospital because they know they will have a hard time keeping or finding someone to work there.

Pros

Offer a good Pension Health plan

Cons

Always short staffed. Lopsided patient loads with NO Ancillary staff! Who ever heard of RN's also doing the job of HA all shift, every shift?? Patient care and safety always compromised.

Advice to Management

Read your mission statement once in a while. It's not healthcare is true care here it's healthcare is unsafe care.

Pros

There are not many. It's not much more than a job.

Cons

Not at all what you would expect for a County job.

Advice to Management

Please stop micro managing and pay a fair salary that reflect the responsibility of the jobs that are held in Plant Operations.

Pros

I like to work here

Cons

there are no cons to working here

Advice to Management

continue to to what you are doing

Pros

Patient care and the benefits package are pretty good.

Cons

Staff are treated very poorly by mid-upper management. Generally, management tactics that are heavily utilized include thinly veiled threats, intimidation, and bullying. CSEA union does not truly stand with it's members and leaving most of us voiceless and defenseless against unfair practices by "the corporation" as they willfully violate union contracts and then again engages in the above mentioned management tactics....

Advice to Management

Cut the fat out of the mid-upper management. Stop descending upon us from your golden towers only when some lodges a complaint and make the time to actually see what it is we do in this hospital and how we are rewarded. You can pat yourselves on your backs right now for the incredible year-end revenue mark the hospital had just achieved, but don't lose yourselves in your grandiose delusions that this is a sign of an...

Pros

None. Nothing good I can say about this institute.

Cons

Don't encourage Employees to grow. Managers do not possess a degree.

Advice to Management

Hire new Human Resource and Department Managers (with degrees not hand give a position). Encourage employee growth. Offer pay on par to other hospitals.

Pros

Easy to use EMR and encoder

Cons

Work could be more reliable
