Pros
My management has been great in every department I have worked for. Do good work and your work will be acknowledged. Joining with local companies (i.e. our Duke collaboration projects) has given us opportunities for lots of growth.
Cons
WakeMed is set in their ways. Implementing change here is like trying to turn around a cruise ship...very slow...

Negative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at WakeMed Health and Hospitals full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Decent coworkers. Fair health insurance and retirement. Physicians were good especially the critical care team. That's really all I have to say.more cons than pros.
Cons
Management. Hostile, punitive culture. Some coworkers creating a hostile work environment and management. Management enables this toxicity. There are many more issues than the ones above.
Advice to Management
Listen to complaints. Don't stick your head in the sand. Take them seriously. Might just help your reputation. Management, stop getting involved in employees personal life., as long as it isn't detrimental to the organization, it isn't any of your business. This organization has great potential, but there are many barriers to achieving this with the current company culture.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookI have been working at WakeMed Health and Hospitals full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Meeting patients from all walks of life
Cons
Lack of help from nurses. Nurses will cancel call lights instead of checking on patient.
Advice to Management
I work on a unit where first shift staff are favored over the night shift staff. There is nothing "team work" about this unit. Nurses will barely help the techs. Some of the older Nurses will flag down a tech to get a patient some refreshments while the nurse sits and shops online. I've witnessed a few nurses give the wrong medication or the wrong dose (too much) If I didn't have a family to take care of best believe I wouldn't be working here. Vets take care of animals better than this place take care of the patients.

Pros
People work as a team and make a good atmosphere. They match your 401k and vacation time can be flexible depending on the schedule and whether your shift can get covered. The money can be good and the overtime opportunities.
Cons
Management tends to favor specific people causing unfair policy. Not a lot of opportunity to grown In our area of work. They are not considerate of sick time and call outs. They health insurance rates and costs went up starting 2017 when we changed from BCBS to Aetna.

Pros
I loved working the night shift in Cary. The people I worked with were amazing! Great supervisors, NTs, coworkers! Very supportive!
Cons
As with most hospitals, the nurse to patient ratio was at times hard to manage. We often ran with less NTs than we needed.
