Northside Hospital Reviews

Pros

Everyone is extremely friendly helpful and works with you! They understand when family emergencies happen and support you and check in on you. They understand the stress of the job and give you amazing benefits!

Cons

Absolutely NOTHING to complain about!!

Pros

Maternal/infant and women’s services are top notch. You will see clinical situations not see at smaller, rural hospitals. Northside Hospital is nationally known maternity and women’s services. This is great because hospitals everywhere will hire you with solid experience from Northside. It’s also a pretty diverse hospital even though it’s in Sandy Springs. With 2-5 years experience in Women’s Services you can work anywhere. The hospital is fiscally responsible.

Cons

Very fast-paced. This is shocking to lots of nurse’s because women’s services are usually considered “easier” than traditional med-surg positions. While the acuity and patient ratios are lower overall, the number of deliveries and services offered for pregnancy, birth and general women’s health create a fast-paced environment and higher acuity maternal, women, and infant units in comparison to Northside Hospital. Lots of “catty & cliquish” behavior among nurses. The patients aren’t always as appreciative as those who are underserved. Their Nurse’s Week is horrible because the fiscal responsibility sometimes turns into just being down right cheap. They tend to promote from within first. You could possibly be passed over for a position b/c they’d rather have nurse that Northside trained even if he/she has less experience. So an experienced nurse that comes into Northside with experience may very well be overlooked for promotion and growth because the less experienced nurse interned and started with Northside & only has Northside experience. If you quit without notice that’s it…you’re ineligible for rehire at ALL NORTHSIDE FACILITIES!

Pros

Overall, Northside offers a very supportive, ethical, fair, nurturing environment for employees to advance their careers. The campus and department I work in is like a big family. We support each other through the good times and the bad. We always try to work together to build each other up, and challenge each other to be better every day. The culture that is fostered here is one of positivity, ethical inclusiveness, cultural acceptance, and transparency.

Cons

I really enjoy my job and the people I work with so much, I find I often work late and throw off my work, life balance. Cost of care in the ER for employees is still very high despite being employees and having the health insurance through our organization. Other areas of care are fair, but the ER Physician being "Tier 2" creates extreme out of pocket expenses in an emergency.

Pros

I had the opportunity to work with some wonderful medical doctors and nurses.

Cons

HUGE TURNOVER IN RESEARCH! The leadership of the the community research program is the worst clique to be running the research department. Horrible experience with leadership belittling people during meetings. No encouragement provided or emotional intelligence given with employees. People quit on a regular basis and then more work gets dumped on you. Even if you do work hard and go above and beyond, there will be no appreciation given here! Spread very thin. No work life balance at all! Do not apply to the research program. You will regret it. The pay is ridiculous. Everyone walks on eggshells and is afraid to speak up about how horrible this department is. The upper management team will treat you like a number and not a human. I would never recommend a family member or friend to work here!

Pros

Northside is a leader in the area in terms of growth, expansion, and obtaining the latest technology to meet the needs of employees and patients. I have always felt working for NSH that I am on the winning team

Cons

I only wish there were more diverse options for Health Insurance coverage

Pros

From the interviewing process to onboarding Northside made it easy and kept me informed. The team and staff are extremely nice. I know I will have a successful career here.

Cons

I have not encountered any negative issues.

Pros

Great pay, great coworkers, and remote work!

Cons

The company as a whole is great but the IS dept lacks the opportunities for growth! The leadership team does not listen to the idea of the team. The leaders with switch your scope of support without any heads up and will expect you to have it perfected with no formal training. They operate the IS teams like a call center. Managers will literally tell you that your scope of support is to “answer the phones!” Promotions are given based on tenure and not based on actual work. No true training for applications you support. If you are a black employee you better “stay in your place and do as you’re told.”

Pros

Northside is like working with your family. Northside bends over backwards 24/7 for all patients and staff. Truly feel loved and appreciated.

Cons

Cafeteria closes early for night shift.

Pros

Great coworkers and professional clinicians.

Cons

Stressful environment and management does not help morale.
