CARTI, Inc.

The new facilities are beautiful and the current ones are in the process of some remodeling.  However the company is solely concentrated on growth, not on establishing standardized processes.  This is not a cohesive company.  Each physician is allowed to act like it’s their own private practice, even though this is not a physician owned practice.  Physicians will actively circumvent managers/directors and drive a wedge between them and their staff.  Ethics and regulations are a suggestion, not a requirement.  Leaders refused to address a privacy breach with a physician leader, when the same transgression would have gotten another employee written up or even fired.  Executive leadership think yelling and cursing is acceptable practice.  HR will tell EVERYONE your business.  Notice how HR is reviewing the company just to drive up the company score...  

They may be a non-profit but their goal is to grow and make money, not make a quality patient experience.  These practices may be acceptable in a local practice but would never fly at a real health system.  If you enjoy a workplace culture of backstabbing, working for leaders that are convicted criminals, and being set up for failure this may be the place for you.

The cafe is good.  The patients and some of the employees are great.

Working at Carti is alright. Could always use some improvements. First of all, the people in charge are only in their positions by default (either someone quit or was fired and they had no one else to fill the vacancy) which means they really don't have the qualifications to perform the job properly. That causes lots of miscommunication and unnecessary problems. There is also alot of back biting and tattle telling, it almost feels like being back in elementary school. But on a positive note the team work is awesome. Everyone (at least in my department) works well together like a well oiled machine and that helps keep things in order and running smoothly. In essence, I might recommend working at Carti to a friend depending on which department it is simply because the pay is pretty good and the benefits are decent compaired to alot of other hospitals and clinics. 

You are able to make a tangible difference in the lives of patients, their caregivers, and your team members on a daily basis. As with every job, they call it work for a reason, but you will be hard pressed to find a more dedicated group of team members to the mission and vision of the organization. The patients always come first and it shows in the care and admiration delivered. Team members are treated fairly and compensated well relative to like healthcare positions both locally and regionally. 

This is a great place to work if you enjoy helping people. If you are just looking for a job and a paycheck, this isn't for you. It can be stressful at times, and emotional at times when you really get to know the patients and connect with them, but still rewarding because you're helping their overall experience to be a good one. Your attitude towards the patients very much affects their day, and anything that makes their days worse than the reason they are there in the first place is just bad on you. You won't be recognized by management for going the extra mile and always being helpful and kind, but you'll know in your heart that you are doing good for someone else and making a difference in their lives.

Although the patients are at the forefront of what Carti stands for, management treats their employees very poorly. There is very little room for advancement if you don’t fit the image! You can get a degree while working there and your pay won’t change nor are you recognized when you can be a huge asset to the company. Management knows nothing about management and they all come from the same circle. Friends who should have never been placed in management positions. Everyone trying to figure it out without any leadership experience. Recognition is non-existent. 

The patients are the key. I know that the patients are cared for, but management sucks at Carti! In order to get promoted you have to be in a certain circle or know someone higher up! If you work hard and are very dedicated, it more than likely won’t get you anywhere. Most of the employees that have left this employer left because of poor management and limited advancement opportunities. Even with a Bachelors degree I couldn’t get a change in pay! When the position I was hired in only required an Associates Degree. I was told that any change in the company would result in a lateral move with no extra money! I resigned and found better.

I started here in 2013, it was ok then and when the new CEO came on it looked like things were looking up, they were for a while.  CARTI is good as far as patient care but they lack in caring for employees, they want quantity but don't care about quality work even though they say they do. The doctors are great, nurses are good and those are the ones catered to. Benefits are ok, not great but ok. Too many chiefs here that don't wanna listen to the people who actually support their cause an do the leg work. The stress there is not worth the check, unless you can tolerate it.

Upper management are some of the most wonderful people I’ve ever worked for. They truly do care about the lives of their workers. However, my direct supervisor would not allow me to take off for a funeral of a very good friend of mine that passed away suddenly. The department I work in has a clique mentality. If you are not apart of the favored group, you will be treated differently than them. Compensation is wonderful and benefits are great as well. Just depends on what is important to you. 

Working at this company was a pleasure. Staff was intelligent and respectful. There was little to no micro-management, and coworkers were all nice to be around. The hardest part of the job would be the odd weekend hours when there would be down equipment, and many departments were chronically understaffed, but this could be due to CARTI's rapid expansion. Also, there is a lot of respect for veteran status.
