Ok place to get some experience and move on. I worked for the employer almost three years in the IT department. I was satisfied with pay and benefits. There's really no room for growth. I got lucky and was able to advance because someone resigned.  

The staff didn't take well to me. I was reserved and quiet. Staff doesn't take well to people who want to be themselves and not trying to be in the in crowd. If management speaks poorly about employees, staff tends to go along with what management says about employees. 

IT staff comes to work just to flirt, and seek out work husbands and wives. The females are atrocious and behave like dogs in heat. Management creates competition amongst employees. Also, management is sneaky. No one is really a team player.  Team competes against itself. Everyone is trying to be recognized, especially when your church member is the CIO. Animosity and disparage amongst other teams, tic for tat mentality.

 There is NO CONFIDENTIALLITY whatsoever in the IT department. I completed a departmental survey which was supposed to been anonymous, but somehow coworkers and management learned about what I said on my survey. Hmmm? Later, I was retaliated against for my survey by being written up for a mistake I made. Plus I confronted the Office Administrator at the time that the surveys weren't anonymous. This didn't sit well with her nor management. 

As I said earlier, ok place to work when you need a job, which is how I ended up working for the employer. Get the experience and keep it moving. Unless you're one of the lucky one's  everyone likes then environment wont be so miserable. 

As an office assistant you are given a broad description of things you are able to do but may not do on a day to day basis. Everyone has specific aspects that they perform as their primary duties and the duty i was assigned was referrals. It is a fairly new practice within a hospital umbrella as they were private until about a year ago. Due to that they are still getting used to the managment and overall policies and procedures. At the time staff is somewhat limited so everyone is lending out a helping hand which as times can be overwhelming but overall gives you the experience that you can carry on. I had not worked from the primary care side of healthcare so this was definitely a different view. I check eligibility of patients insurance and get pre authoirization for some procedures. I also work in the front desk where I primarily answer the phone, schedule appointments, take messages, and transfer calls. At times I may have to check out a patient or give patient prescriptions that they have called in. Management is in the process of changing at the moment but so far everything seems to be looking toward a better work enviornment. The employees have been working together for at least 5 years and the longest 15. They are all friendly and put in the team effort that a company wouldl like to see. The hardest part of the job so far is not having enought time to do the job I am primarily set for due to not being fully staffed at the moment. The most enjoyable is the fact that I have the opportunity to do so many aspects of the job which gives me that experience to further my skills and overall job experience. Overall my experience has been a good one and I would recommend it to another person.

I was a PCT at Perry Hospital. I loved the job very much, I would even pick up extra shifts. Perry Hospital is a small hospital, it puts you in the mind of a nursing home versus a hospital though. I thought working at Perry Hospital night shift  was going to be the last place for me to work as a CNA until I finish school but no. Perry Hospital has this night shift supervisor that is on a power trip. If you disagree with anything she feels and or wants she will right you up with lies and all just to make sure she get you punished to the fullest. She remind you of Mrs. Hilly from the movie The Help. She wrote the charge nurse up because the charge nurse didn’t agree with her about writing up a PCT when the charge nurse didn’t even know what was going on and was just trying to find out. Once the night shift supervisor targets you she is not going to stop until she have you fired... She’s very sneaky and conniving and she uses her power to make others do what she wants. She will have security watching you on the cameras and writing things down for her and she will assign a nurse to go in and out your rooms to find any little thing she can exaggerate to lie about. The hospital don’t investigate anything from her write ups either, whatever she say you did guess what you did it. The write up be filled with so many lies. Then you can appeal it later. She even tried to get a correction officer fired who was their with an inmate because he wouldn’t do what she wanted him to do. This night shift supervisor make the night shift at Perry Hospital the worst place to work.

This is by far my worst working experience ever. The management is sub par at best and extremely childish. If you do not sit in their faces and talk about nothing with them, you will not advance. If you do not discuss hunting and trucks with them, they will talk about you behind your back. No management in the IT Department needs to be a manager. The department is run like a boys club and I did not fit into the mold, therefor, they made my experience there miserable. Rumors were spread throughout the department about myself and others and the management found that to be okay. Management actually spread much of my business without my consent. I turned in my 2 weeks notice and was promptly told that I did not have to work my two weeks and was told to leave. I later found out that they were upset because I would not inform them of the location of my new job and that they were upset. The IT Department is lackluster at best. The management has no ethics, morals, and is in severe need of a class by Human Resources. They are disrespectful and have pushed out the best technicians. They will work you to the bone for little pay and no respect.

Ive been a Resp Therapist for 7.5 years and have worked five medical centers mainly in critical care. I was really attracted to this job when I was quoted an hourly rate. Its not too bad if your not a thinker and just looking for a pay check. On the other hand . It is a very clickish place. 60 percent of the medical staff is middle eastern and not very good communicators. None of the docs want to be questioned or youre perceived as argumentative. you miss out on several skills like: alines, bronchcoscopy, and CABG weaning. Protocols are a pipe dream there. They provide blanket health care here if it works for one it must work for the other no questions asked. This is a really nice hospital with a very modern decor and new improved facilities. Nursing staff is a little weak. Alot of new grads and burnt out RNs.Alot of new therapists too though. Anyway make up your own minds. Like I said its tolerable.

Houston Healthcare was a wonderful place to work. They treated me very well with respect. I enjoyed my job and felt good about myself when I left work knowing that I contributed to the community in a small way to help those that needed medical attention. I resigned so I could take care of my father who was diagnosed with terminal cancer and to help my husband with our own personal business. After two years Houston Healthcare rehired me where I worked in Central Scheduling for over a year until my husband a I decided to move to the country which our location is closer to Columbus. I then became  a caregiver until recently she passed away. I would love to be able to work again at a facility and get that "feel good" again. I hope you will consider me. I am a very hard worker and will not let you down.

One of the worst environments I’ve ever worked in. If the clique doesn’t take an immediate liking to you, you’re practically set up to fail because any sort of structured training is practically nonexistent. Training is almost exclusively based on how much your coworkers feel like teaching you. Immediate management couldn’t practically care less because they’re friends with the mean girls so there’s zero accountability.  Management at the next level is more concerned with how numbers look on a spreadsheet to get involved in the petty affairs at the ground level. Aside from atrocious co-workers and management, the job itself is very demanding.

I can’t advise avoiding taking a job here hard enough, but I understand that sometimes people fall on hard times and take what they can get. Well, Houston is always hiring and there’s a reason for that.  



I've been a nurse for almost 8 years now, I've had a few different jobs some I loved and some not so much. I have been at Houston for over a year now and I have to say it's my most favorite of all my previous jobs. Yes it can be hard some nights but that is anywhere in the healthcare field. I don't really know upper management outside of my nurse manager and the assistant nurse managers on our floor. I feel as though I have been treated great by them. I work hard and try my best and it has been recognized with a "thank you" which to me means a lot. I have made some mistakes and instead of being told off or it being made a big deal they respectfully and in private tell you what you did wrong and how to keep yourself from making the same
Mistake again. I love my job at Houston Medical. It will take something extraordinary like moving or a family crisis to make me leave!

The work was fine, but management not so much. I have never worked anywhere where myself and my fellow employees dreaded going into work every day. There was A LOT of nepotism happening in our office and the turn over rate was atrocious. There were at least 20 people who purposefully left in the short time I worked in the department I worked in. HR didn't listen to complaints about our management, though multiple people filled out the surveys mentioning how awful the environment was to work in. If anything I learned that people in management positions aren't always the people that should be. I would NEVER recommend this company to my friends. And if they did want to work there I would tell them where to avoid. Also, the pay is not great for where we work and when you are supporting your family with basic needs, you are living pay check to pay check.

I worked in two different departments at this hospital.  Both managers were very inconsiderate to employees that were not friends with them. I have been a manager of a L&D unit and had to separate my friendship from my role as a manager.  It is hard but it can be done if you set boundaries and guidelines. I loved what I did at the Surgery Center at Houston, the hours were great for family life (M-F 0545-1430, no weekends or holidays and no call).  The biggest problem was the management allowed bad behavior thru-out the facility.  Several employees had complaints from patients, family, other staff members as well as physicians, yet those employees wouldn't be fired.  We even had one employee punch another employee and nothing was done to that employee who assaulted the other employee!!
