      Great benefits including tuition reimbursement, paid time off, Heath vision and dental insurance. Made some great friends. Chance for advancement

      Disorganized management, employees not held accountable to same standards. Not all employees varied their weight while others did everything and never got recognized

      Advice to Management

      Pros

      The Staff is more like family. We have a good time at work while providing great care. Generally we all care about each other and strive to get along and support one another, especially at work.

      Cons

      The only thing negative that I think I could say is that, sometimes there isn't adequate security to keep the staff safe. I, more times than not, end up having to be a sort of security in order to keep my female constituents safe.

      Advice to Management

      Figure out a way to keep us safer while we are at work.

      It is a great company to work for. Management and coworkers are awesome.

      Everything going well so far. Management is pretty good communicating with their employee. I don't have much to complain about.

      Actively encouraging people to take time off, within reason and to live a healthy lifestyle

      Need more of management visiting departments rather than just the usual suspects

      Pros

      Good opportunity to learn new things. They accept new grads/entry level employees for what should be mid-level jobs

      Cons

      Typically hire from the outside to fill higher positions and rarely promote from within. Not much loyalty shown.

      Advice to Management

      Actually follow the SPIRIT values and care about how the patients are affected with management decisions. Exhaust qualified internal candidates for upper lever vacancies before opening the search for external candidates. You're losing a myriad of talent to competitors because of this.

      Cons

      Staff isn't appreciated and peers have attitude problems. If you are here for a job you should do your job.

      Pros

      Worked at at a MedStar hospital, co workers generally nice and helpful, amount of paid time off is a plus

      Cons

      If you are in support services(transporter) the work is mundane as you might expect, nurses and techs might be too busy to help when you need them(or on break), you see alot of the same patients over and over(some are rude) and you might get sick more often(these patients are very sick and on contact precautions=flu, cold like illnesses)

      Limited room for growth not ideal for candidates who are eager to grow quickly.

      Hire slow and focus on the current employees and potential candidates.
