Unethical Managemt. Co workers are ok. Favoritism plays a roll in creating a really toxic and negative environment and thus leads to bullying. Very unprofessional behavior from Management making it difficult for career advancement unless you sacrifice your home life for your job. Lots of gossiping about both coworkers and patients from both management and co workers. Once hired you will feel very welcomed and popular (maybe even employee of the month your first month in) but after some time has passed the new wears off and you're just another number. You get fed sometimes. Company parties to replace nurse week an others things you would normally get at another facility. But, only if you're scheduled off or can find your own coverage. Low PRN pool and Prns not obligated to cover virtually anything unless they feel like it. PRNs get to pick days over full time. Prns not required to cover holidays. Favoritism with Prns: they will get more scheduled hours! Lowest pay in the market. Prepare to take a paycut if you want to work here. A few positives would be the freedom to use cell phones while at work and watch movies while no patients are in the department and free internet time. More relaxed environment during the weekends and nights makes a healthier work environment and leads to better patient care. Most doctors are actually fun to work with. This is a Growing company losing its small feel.  Patient acuity can be high and work can be very demanding.

The only people giving high ratings are those that don't work in the ER. There is massive favoritism and bullying amongst the people in the ER.  The position written down is not at all what you will be doing. You will not receive a handbook and you will receive one day of lab technician training. Then you will be asked to take a test over the lab, which lab technicians need to be doing. If you do not form a clique immediately and your bosses and co-workers do not like you, you will be fired and they will give you an excuse to be fired or to be let go or to take your PTO. I have never seen anything like this within a company. They will make you feel very welcome at first and like you are amazing. Then you will be made to feel like a horrible person. As quoted by one of my managers, they look for people and find them and then decide whether or not to get rid of the bad apples. You can be the best medic or the best nurse, but if you are not liked by management immediately or other coworkers you will be let go. The rumors spread about people are horrendous and management does nothing about it. My advice; if you are new to the field and can be walked all over this is a place for you. If you know what you were doing then you will be let go. Save your trouble and find a better place that is more secure.

I would strongly recommend any nurses looking into employment at Emerus Holdings to reconsider. I was lured by the higher than market pay, but everything else about the job is less-than ideal. 

Emerus provided me with on training shift to get accustomed to the workflow in the ED. I left that day feeling good, but unfortunately that was my last good feeling. 

The roles are organized with overlap, which you would think helped productivity. But it was the opposite. Everyone was able to skirt responsibilities because, "other people were trained to do that." 

Most of the responsibilities fall on the sole ED nurse, and the other roles are free from reproach. 

The management is also horrendous. There is limited feedback on job performance and when problems arise, the management is the first to betray you. 

Emerus is obsessed with times such as door to nurse, door to physician, EKG, and disposition. They engage in manipulation if the EHR to make their times appear better, but in reality, the times are the same as any other institution. 

If you've read this far, I once again urge all nurses to reconsider employment with Emerus Holdings. 



This company has great potential. What holds it back is management. They lie through the entire process. Then they strong arm you into doing what they want you to do. You have NO control over your schedule. They do not care about you as a person. There is no work-life balance anymore. If you want a day off, you have to find coverage. You can't request ahead of time. They are in complete control of everything. There is an alarmingly high staff turnover rate. They are constantly training administrators as well. The staff that have stayed are mean, hateful people. I never even knew these types of people existed. There is no teamwork. Very punitive environment! I wish I had read some of the reviews about them before applying. Do yourself a favor, DON'T APPLY!!! You will regret it. I cannot stress enough what a toxic environment this is for nursing. To top it off, a lot of the doctors are arrogant, and you cannot question them about anything. This is by far the worst environment I have ever worked in.

This company has switched owners and now it is not as family and caring towards the employees as it use to be. The moral is really low. No bonuses anymore, short on staff all the time, they dont want to hire people they rather you work by yourself now even when it is busy. alot of the staff doesn't even get to eat a meal during a 12 hour shift because there is no one to relieve you. When this company first started it was the best place I ever worked for it was like family, nice bonuses you didn't have to work by yourself, now you mention you need help or need a break they don't care.The work is not hard. We all just wish they would appreciate their employees again and more often.Give us help, let us have a decent meal break. Sometimes they do Christmas party's etc but the money that goes out for that people would rather have the Bonus than a party.We understand companies have to do cut backs at times but you still need to respect and treat the employees good.


Emerus AHN Pittsburgh is not a secure job.  The management  hires their friends and if you were not hired by the head admin, then basically she wants you out and treats staff poorly.  If you are her friend you will be treated great if not beware.   If you are leaving a secure job think twice about this place because the turn over rate is high.  Full-time employees that are suppose to get their hours sometimes don't.  A few of the er doctors are belittling and talk awful to some of the staff.  Many of the staff worry on a consistent basis that they are next on the chopping block because they have pushed many out so it is always a worry.  Staff leaves just so they don't have to work in the atmosphere.  Many have the same complaint that they were told one thing during the interview and come to find out that a lot of misinformation is given.

Pros are they pay a little better than the hospitals in the area but  that extra dollar is not worth it.

Emerus is not the place it used to be. Upper management has changed and are out of touch with the employees. Middle management is terrible and unfortunately, upper management is well aware of it and does nothing to change it. IT Management is probably some of the worst managers I've ever experienced. It goes back to knowing the difference between management and leadership. There is not one leader in the group. They are so disorganized and refuse to listen to anyone. They literally interrupt you to listen themselves and couldn't care less about what employees have to say. This is a very common complaint, backed up by the extremely high turnover rate in the IT department. They will outright lie to contract employees telling them they will be hired as full-time. Additionally, they will dangle the promise of promotions never intending to follow through.

Pharmacists are hired under the job description of "Clinical Pharmacist."  The onboarding process is completely disorganized, with multiple people telling you conflicting information.  Don't be fooled.  Once you finally start working for them, your title will be reduced to just "Pharmacist."  Note, you will be required to sign the pharmacy license for the hospital & be the pharmacist in charge (which is a management position in any other hospital I have worked for).  You will not receive a title or compensation that a management position usually brings, nor will you have the authority to run the pharmacy according to the laws by which you are required to uphold by your state board of pharmacy.  Your senior leadership is out of Texas, and you have NO authority to change anything to be in compliance with your state's pharmacy law.  Save yourself a lot of headaches and stay put if you already have a staff position.  This is definitely not a step up.

No matter what they tell you, they are a STAFFING agency nothing less. They will lie and say anything that they can to get you to join, then cram every job detail possible onto you and complain when it is not done. Under educated staff, benefits cost for employee + child (not spouse) about 350+ per pay period. they might say you will work 3/12hr shifts, but it's a LIE. 2on/2off/2on/2off/3on/3off in a 2 wk period is what you will end up with, so forget a work life balance. and after you start in a week or 2 is when you will find this out. Not to mention the less you know the more that person will try to tell you what to do into getting you to do their job and take responsibility for any outcome from it. It's even so funny as the people they have do the training are contract people that don't know what they are talking about, then they will have the untrained staff do the training for them!! Just don't waste your time, or if nothing else if you attempt this futile job KEEP YOUR OLD 1

Pros are decent pay and super nice employees.  
Cons are the head admins are caddy and talk about people in the Pittsburgh location.  This is a common complaint with staff and everyone is afraid to speak up.  They hire friends and the staff that was not hired by the HA is treated poorly.  They make promises for instance telling a prn person during their interview that they can work x amount of days a week so they quit their job to come there and there are no days for them to even pick up.  The staff is afraid to say anything there because you are next on the chopping block.  They have lost  two very good nurses there just in the past month.  It’s a revolving door.  One left and did not even have a new job .  The money is good but not worth the poor treatment from management.  They are also very disorganized during the orientation process.
