Northside Hospital Reviews

Pros

Excellent company to work for. Just had my 10-year anniversary. Love my schedule, colleagues, and supervisors. All are very accommodating, and willing to work with you through just about anything, such as when personal issues/problems arise. I can't say enough! Northside Hospital is a great place to work, and I hope I finish my career here.

Cons

More communication between management and staff.

Pros

Great benefits such as health insurance and std, Ltd.

Cons

No negative items to share

Pros

Benefits are ok. Pension great

Cons

I gave this company many chances. Be aware you will not be treated the same if you’re a minority employee at this hospital. There are some good managers but otherwise when you bring concerns to management to have a better work environment the response is to push you out by suddenly finding errors in your work performance. I remember as a new employee when a patient requested for light skin caregivers only (nonblack) and guess what happened the unit followed her request. I witnessed the manager make exceptions for errors of white employees but for myself and other minorities it was constant picking and/ or being called into the office. Please don’t bother reaching out to Employee Relations/HR. They all work together to cover up toxic behavior and lies instead of mediating and finding a solution. You will make it at this hospital if you have connections or endure workplace harassment/ bullying but otherwise I recommend working for different hospitals in the area.

Pros

Northside has amazing benefits with the only hospital to offer pension plan in GA. The culture really pushes you to cllaborate and become a better employee every day. There are opportunities at every level to choose from and training to be better at what you do. I transitioned from a bedside nurse to information system employee, and it has been absolutely rewarding that Northside gives you the opportunity to grow and be better at whatever talent you bring in.

Cons

I do not see any downside working at Northside as long as you do your work, sky is the limit.

Pros

Northside Hospital is by far the best healthcare system I have ever worked for. Additionally, their focus on quality and investing resources where needed are unmatched. Not only am I proud to work as a Northside employee, but I would take my family to a Northside facility should they have a medical need (even when I worked for other HC systems-I'd still go to Northside Hospital!). Having compared Northside to other large healthcare systems has given me great perspective. The pay is fair, benefits are great (lots of discounts as well as a pension and 403B!), and there has NEVER been a time while working for Northside that I have felt pressured to do more with less or have had to deviate from what I know is safe due to resource restrictions. We have the equipment and staff that we need to do an exceptional job. Our campus is beautiful, and I thoroughly enjoy coming to work. We work hard but also have a lot of fun. I'm thankful to have had an opportunity to return to the organization. This is my HOME!

Cons

Pay is not always the highest in terms of $/hr but they do have some great benefits to offset not being the highest paying. Northside is a conservative organization so many changes take longer than wanted at times due to the vetting process.

Pros

Pension option, student loan help after a certain amount of time

Cons

It is truly hit or miss with management. Very high school like with cliques and favoritism. Turnover is high.

Pros

-The organization believes in growing their own -The organization has a lot of layers of support for whatever role you work in -The organization has so many different opportunities in so many different segments of healthcare -The organization has a strong senior leadership team which has provided the staff with financial security, protecting staff from layoffs, furloughs and pay cuts even through economic downturns -The organization understands that how people are treated is important for patient satisfaction and staff retention, making this an expectation and priority for all staff -The organization offers competitive salaries, educational reimbursement, professional development opportunities, great benefits, retirement savings and matching, and a pension

Cons

-The organization is very large and can appear difficult to navigate ones career through

Pros

My direct management was excellent. Very supportive but never micromanaged.

Cons

No daily face to face interaction

Pros

Offers many support system, patient to nurse ratio is very reasonable.

Cons

Seems like they do the bare minimum for nurse retention

Pros

Frequent raises and of course self scheduling benefits along with pto.

Cons

Not much of a downside besides some of the extra stuff they want you to do just because you’re finally sitting but that’s not really much of a complaint.
