St. Luke's Hospital (MO) Employee Reviews about "upper management"

Pros

Good starter, growth is possible, work life is achievable if boundaries are set, Outpatient is M-F with an occasional Saturday.

Cons

Lack of effective communication from upper management, lack of proper training, moderate turnover rate, overtime is very frowned upon.

Pros

Great location, decent benefits, beautiful grounds (can walk around them on your break), traffic isn't usually too bad. Great Coworkers. Apparently, it's a great place to work, if you aren't in the lab.

Cons

The lab management is out of control. They won't listen to reason about simple concepts. The off-shift staff turns over completely every few years because people get tired of the inflexibility of scheduling, dealing with management staff who never listens to them, and no one to go to about it because upper management will always side with the supervisor. HR won't do anything about it because they always side with management over employees. Top it off with one of the lower pay scales in the St. Louis area and the overabundance of jobs for lab professionals out there, and it's no wonder that people leave in droves. The feeling from management is that if you don't like it, you can leave. So, people leave.

Pros

Camaraderie with fellow employees. They believe the mantra " the patient above all else".

Cons

Dishonest upper management. Middle management is inexperienced and incompetent but well meaning.

Pros

Caring friendly staff in a smaller hospital that provides excellent care

Cons

It seems that upper management does not care about retaining good employees. They constantly run short staffed and use their employees until they are completely burned out and unhappy

Pros

Happier place to work than closest big neighbor hospital. Much kinder employees. Great maternity, WBN & SCN. I love my job!

Cons

Upper management losing loyalty of employees since Gary Olsen left as CEO. Too much floating of nursing staff and staff schedule manipulation.

Pros

Good work/life balance, good affordable health coverage and upward mobility. The likelihood of layoff is minimal.

Cons

The perks of working for this hospital have dwindled over the last few years because of COVID and several changes within upper management (CEO). It doesn't feel like home as much as it did 5 years ago.
