Pros
flexible schedule, tuition reimbursement, the chance to move around if you go to school
Cons
working holidays, working every 3rd weekend, 10 cent raises every year
Advice to Management
Management rotates so often ,your secretaries are valuable whether they have been there for 5 years or 30. Don't undercut your newer secretaries whom do more work than those who were there for 20 years when they are making 5-10 dollars less per hour

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at MedStar Health full-time for more than 2 years
Pros
Great benefits Some nice people Hard working employees Has good training for leadership
Cons
Poor Leadership No HR support unless you are a manager trying to get rid of an employee Average pay No Diversity in Leadership Leadership more concern with personal career and not organizational concerns or growth Not enough resources to get the job done Leadership does not put the training provided to use. Leadership does not coach or mentor staff
Advice to Management
Lead and not your personal career Plan- Create a strategic plan to move the organization forward Invest in your people (training, coaching and mentoring) Hire more resources so people are not overworked resulting in burned out employees

Pros
Good benefits. That's about it, really.
Cons
No upward mobility at smaller hospitals It takes forever for a problem to get solved because, if you're lucky enough to have people who own the problem, there are Lengthy Discussions that must take place before anything happens. In Corporate IT oftentimes decisions don't make sense.
Advice to Management
For Corporate IT: make it efficient, make people use common sense and get rid of dead weight.

I have been working at MedStar Health full-time
Pros
Competitive pay, shift differentials, occasional bonuses for OT.
Cons
The hiring/orientation process is a major headache and does not well prepare you for your duties. Once you learn your way, it's just like any other hospital. Nursing ratios are average, 6:1 on medsurg. Often don't have techs or secretaries causing dangerous conditions.
Advice to Management
Your system utilizes too many "crutches" for nursing staff causing them to lose their basic nursing skills. For example: Nurses struggle to read tele strips or identify critical rhythms and rely on tele monitoring techs. Poor IV skills due to no nursing driven phlebotomy and the ability to call charge nurses or the rapid nurse for IV starts. Many nurses can't identify wounds to even begin to choose the proper wound treatment...
