Leadership fails to keep experienced employees because of their focus on revenue. The billing team has 4 managers that appear to be above the team manager that will always run the team manager off. They will have multiple lead’s that are overworked and only receive cents more on the hour for the extra work. The few worker bees in the pool of leads and managers are always dumped on to train and do the leads jobs. My assumption is because the leads are doing the managers jobs because the managers are clueless. Very few answers are given when asking managers to address situations or what incentives there are for going above and beyond. Side note, a five dollar gift card and a thank you note is not a bonus. And a 50 dollar Christmas bonus is laughable when the new employees are being hired in at higher salaries than senior employees with years of experience . Senior employees are then asked to train new employees making more money than them. In hindsight this was a waste of my time. I was hoping to stay with Genesis, move up and retire here but it didn’t take long to realize this place is poorly managed and only cares about revenue. Remember, employees come last. Make sure to fully understand your paid time off (PTO) before accepting a job here. You will use your PTO for all mandatory holidays. If you have one sick day it excludes you from the highest annual pay raise.

Clinical aspects of the hospital were great.  Most nurses, doctors, MLT's and other clinical staff were very friendly and receptive.  The majority of clinical staff appeared to be happy with their jobs.  

Administration is a very different picture.  This is by far the worst place in which I have ever worked.  Management was ineffective, and there seemed to be a constant underlying passive-aggressive power struggle.  The person to whom I reported micro-managed me to the point I felt she was breathing down my neck.  She consistently jumped to conclusions, and constantly interrupted when I attempted to explain.  I.e.: I was having a hard time printing business cards, and was finally successful.  The text and picture on the cards were wrong, but I was happy they finally printed.  She thought I was going to place in the mail these draft business cards.  I tried to explain, and she never believed me.  She made nasty comments about my hair and what I ate for breakfast or lunch.  What upset me most about this person is during a "rake me over the coals" meeting she told me two managers with whom I worked closely did not like me, and they had terrible things to say about me.  I had thought I was on friendly terms with them.  I never had a chance to ask them myself, because I gathered my stuff, left and never looked back.  I don't know how those people sleep at night,

The hospital is practically new and they are trying to improve more each year. They offer a fair amount of services, and send to Columbus what they do not. In my department, I was unfortunately worried about job security, hours (pay), and supervision (or the lack thereof). While my hourly rate was great, I was hired without much planning & was not needed as much as expected. It seemed that leadership/management was relatively poor in planning, resistant to change, and very minimalist in execution. The staff isn't really supervised, except when something goes wrong- then they are blamed because that's the easy route for management. When problems arose, I was told to figure out things for myself, without support of time, finances, or much flexibility of scheduling. Co-workers were second to none here, for which I am grateful. I will miss that pate rate, as well. There was money for education, as well, which is very nice & really necessary in today's field. If you can stay "under the radar" and don't have any issues arise, this is an excellent job. Zanesville is a pretty small town, though...

Management doesn’t care about anyone but themselves. They won’t tell you things you need to know in order to get you in trouble so they have something over you. Pay is considerably low compared to other places. You don’t get paid extra for training someone or getting any certifications and you don’t have a choice if you are picked to train someone. We are supposed to get yearly raises however the most you’ll ever get is 20-30 cents a year and for everything we do and everything we put up with that isn’t enough. Most people in sterile processing slack and you have to do their work for them on top of your own. We are constantly looked down upon by all departments and even some management. They have a very high turnover rate because no one wants to work for them. Even some of the people who have been there 5-10 years are leaving because it’s gotten to be too much. Also very few people get along so it’s constant drama. Workers at Panda Express across the road earns more money than we do so if you’re okay with all that then genesis is the place for you. If I could give them zero stars I would. 

As an MST I was paid fairly. 12hr shifts and every 3rd weekend. You are able to pick our schedule but if you were needed on a day that you didn't pick to work they would stick you on the schedule. Sometimes you were put on call and at anytime throughout the day you could be called in to help on your unit or to sit on another unit. The best part of the job were the patients. Most staff are not welcoming of newcomers they are very disrespectful. Management is awful. Training isn't the best either. You get orientation in the office and then put the unit and after 1 day of being on the unit they expect you to be able to do things on your own. While your preceptor sits and braids hair at the nurses station (Unit training is about 3 months). You get one break and that is a 30 min lunch.  Some of the nurse's are nice and some of the them have big heads. Very caddy environment. It was like being in high school all over again. Everyone talks about everyone. Toxic environment. Special treatment if your an MST going to become an RN. Those people could do no wrong. 

Working as a MST at Genesis is pretty much the same as working as a tech at any hospital. Somewhat understaffed, patient to tech ratios vary typically landing around 9-10 depending on the unit, which may be difficult with higher acuity patients. Full-time employees are usually hired to work 12 hour shifts, 4 days one week and 3 the next and rotating weekends. Managers can be helpful depending on the unit, being in the float pool I’ve encountered some arrogant managers as well as very pleasant and friendly. Most nurses on the med-surg units are extremely hard working and willing to lend a hand, as well as the nurses on CCU. Attendance policy is below average, PTO accrues slowly, below average benefits, bonuses offered often if willing to pick up extra shifts, many educational opportunities, pay is below average, etc. The job can be tiring and overwhelming at times, but is extremely rewarding.

Policies are confusing and contradicting and hidden in multiple locations. Management is clueless and abuse schedules. They schedule for their needs, not the staff. There is no culture. If you're not from the area and know people, you're nothing to them. The pay is behind, and don't accept a salary position, you'll be expected to work well beyond 40 hours a week. Paid time off is less than fair and you have to use it to be paid on holidays off. They are so short staffed they can't find coverage for call offs. They are more willing to close the ED then pay $4 more an hour to compete with neighboring hospitals. Zero incentive, and a live to work expectation. Be prepared to give up your live to work there and be used and abused.

As a case manager consult, I start my day by making sure the currect status are on all patient charts and make sure the patient is appropriate for that level of care. I have conferences with other ancillary departments making sure the patients needs are being met. I send reviews to insurance companies about the patient, make sure Medicaid and Medicare guidelines are being met. I ensure all patients have a safe discharge plan. Set up home health services, oxygen, dialysis treatments, skilled nursing, rehabilitation and nursing home placements, and address any needs the patients and families may have. I communicate with ancillary staff and physicians on a daily basis.The hardest part of my job is trying to help patient who do not want help. The best part of my job is making a difference in the lives of people. Working as a team player is important to me and having management that I can go to with issues or problems is a must. My passion is to help others.

I work with an amazing group of nurses. A majority of my coworkers are supportive and very eager to help. However, I feel that that criticism is not constructive, but demeaning. I am a very teachable individual and when I make a mistake, I like to be informed on how to correct my mistakes,  instead of being made to feel like I "should have known better". The feedback I receive from my manager is often demeaning. It shakes my confidence and makes me feel discouraged. In addition I feel like there is an extreme lack of organization and communication. It is a chaotic work environment. There tends to be a high rate of turnover at this hospital and departments do not effectively communicate, neither within the department or with outside departments. I do not feel like I am fairly compensated for the work that I do, neither do I receive any sort of appreciation. Although I love my coworkers, these factors impede my desire to enjoy my work.

This company has zero appreciation for nurses. The turnover is horrendous because their attitude is that every nurse is easily replaceable. Management is horrible. Undereducated, overcompensated management. Very toxic environment in that you are prohibited from thinking for yourself. Its management's way or the highway and the nursing managers are either old high school buddies and/or current drinking buddies. The employees are very disgruntled and hostile towards the hospital itself and fellow coworkers. The units are full of new nurses from the local college with few seasoned nurses to mentor them. These new nurses soon grow weary of the negative environment and move on. I would not recommend this hospital to anyone unless you are fond of working for a dictatorship.
