Indiana University Health Reviews

Cons

Lots of competition for internal promotions.

Cons

Aside from a few people, the department in which I worked, transplant administration, was full of cold and unfriendly people. I was always glad to see the sandwich maker in the cafeteria.

I was hired for a job that didn't exist. Not long after starting I was told that had they (IU Health) advertised it to be what it really is, no one would have taken the job.

My position was managed by someone not familiar with the skills needed to do the job. While may be adequate in other aspects of this person's job, it wouldn't make sense for a nurse to be managing a technical position, for example.

Some managers want to know when their employees go to lunch. Instead, mine wanted to know where I went to lunch. If I went home for lunch, she wanted to know it. If I got off the elevator with an unmarked lunch bag she wanted to know what was in it.

In all seriousness, I was supposed to engage in gossip, listen to stories about other people's home renovations, and other people's family life on the weekend. If there was conversation in the room I had better be a part of it, else risk a private conversation with management.

Putting in extra effort was strictly forbidden. Despite being salaried, despite knowing I don't like to break my concentration simply because I had put in 8 hours, I was talked to repeatedly about proper work-life balance because someone saw me working late or saw a late email.

Eventually IU Health and I split ways. Just like when I was hired for a job that didn't exist, the separation paperwork listed things that my manager admitted to me was untrue with an almost Brittney Spears or Paris Hilton "tee hee. I guess that shouldn't be there."

My experience at IU Health was an unfortunate one. However, I've still encouraged others to apply there.

motivation of staff

Cons

Nurses often instigate situations with patients

Cons

Want to be an employer of choice but bad policies, inconsistent adherence to policies and inconsistent management leaves an employee feeling mistreated and not valued.

Cons

We are overworked, underpaid, we’re held accountable for everyone else’s jobs. We don’t get paid holidays (even though we cannot work those days) but we have to use the little pto that we earn each check for holidays. Some of us are forced to train new team members even though we aren’t team leads or senior analysts-meaning we aren’t technically qualified to do it. We aren’t given any bonuses or incentives to meet the nearly impossible production and quality metrics. I could go on and but I’m sure you get the picture.

Cons

At times short staffing, able to use in-house staffing pool.

Cons

High management turnover rate

Cons

Compensation, Compensation, Compensation, Compensation and lack of showing employees appreciation, especially in a stressful work atmosphere.

Cons

Employees treated as a commodity, slow to change, inconsistant in management
