● Work-life balance
They call you on days off when they’re staffing is low and expect you to drop everything to be there for them.

● Job security and advancement
The advancement is lacking the housekeeping manager has stated that she doesn’t like to be treated as a stepping stone to other departments and will give other staff who had the opportunity to advance a hard time for leaving her department.

● Management
Management is terrible the ultimate reason why I left. Let them know several times of job dissatisfaction and how other staff were overwhelmed but because of the department we were pushed to the side. When we told about how staff is spoken to by manager HR would say oh that’s just how she is.

● Overall
The honestly only good aspect was the pay. In the past I have worked for companies for several years at minimum but I couldn’t even make it a whole year without having to resign. I worked 2nd shift and had asked if there was a possibility to change that ever for better work/family balance and was denied outright with no hope for advancements. Management won’t listen to employees needs and even during covid would give employees a hard time when they barely had time to finish their work load she would pile more that the day shift couldn’t complete, have us clean rooms on the floors or complain to staff when they would stay home while sick. When we went to HR to make complaints about lack of staff or how manager spoke down to us we were told that’s just how the manager is. The housekeeping staff needs to be revamped and properly trained instead of thrown to the wolves or you will risk the chance of infection spreading due to improper cleaning.

I was an inpatient nurse tech for the company for over a year. They require you to work 3-12s and one Saturday a month. I was told in my interview that I’d be working Tuesday-Thursday and I did for the first 2 months and then my schedule was all over the place. You train for 4 weeks with multiple different people and they all tell you different things. You have chores that are suppose to be completed but only a few do them on day or night shift. If there is any type of problem, they will blame the nurses or techs when it was something that doesn’t pertain to us. Charge nurses don’t do anything. I went to 3 different charge nurses about a travel nurse who was demonstrating behaviors that concerned patient safety and care. No one reported it to management and I had to go above them. They worry more about their hospital score than anything else. Benefits are good and the quarter bonuses are decent as long as your on time for every shift and don’t call out. Some of the doctors are very rude. Patient ratios are crazy to me when they want you to give 5 star care and accomplish everything each doctor wants you to do as well. I would have anywhere between 4-10 patients.  They also don’t pay very good for the amount of work you do. I went somewhere else doing way less and making $3 more an hour.

I’ve been employed at Oklahoma Surgical Hospital for several years, and while the institution prides itself on excellence in patient care, the internal culture tells a different story—especially for staff who haven’t been here for years.

There’s a deeply ingrained hierarchy that favors the veteran workforce, often at the expense of newer employees. Those who’ve been here less than five years are routinely overlooked, undervalued, and treated with a level of disregard that’s both disheartening and demoralizing. Opportunities for growth, recognition, and input are rarely extended to newer staff, creating a workplace dynamic that feels exclusionary and stagnant.

This imbalance not only affects morale but also undermines collaboration and innovation. It’s difficult to thrive in an environment where tenure is valued more than talent, and where respect is reserved for a select few.

Oklahoma Surgical Hospital has the potential to be a truly exceptional place to work—for everyone. But that will require leadership to acknowledge the divide and take meaningful steps toward fostering a more inclusive and equitable culture. Until then, newer employees will continue to feel like outsiders in a place that should be united by a shared mission of care and excellence.

Great place to work most of the time, there are a few cliques with management favoritism in some departments but that is everywhere. The bonus is nice but you have to be a perfect employee to be eligible, watch tardies and call ins even for legit reasons because some managers won't care the reason even if you're in the hospital or your immediate family is, they'll take the bonus away. There are managers in some departments that are amazing, then there are the few that are subpar, again like everywhere else. Working several places in Tulsa though, I can say they are pretty decent to work for, for the most part. Do what's expected, show up on time and don't complain or stand up for yourself even when you are being dumped on and you'll be fine here. That's the favoritism part, some will get very sick and difficult teams and others will have a breezy day and it's always the same few getting the breezy day. Most charge nurses will help and most other employees will help some but be prepared to work and be busy and be on your own a lot too. Most of the Drs are great, there are the few that'll make you feel ignorant when you call them but most are great and communicate with you in a pleasant manner.

I have been working at OSH for a few years now in a RN role on the Inpatient unit. What's nice about working on the Inpatient unit is that RN and Nurse Tech ratios usually stay about 5-1. Since the Nurse Tech's have such a lower ratio than any other hospital I've worked at, they are able to help the RN's with so much more. OSH is big on delivering specialized, personal care to each patient and family member. They are truly committed to provided the best patient experience possible.

Another plus with working on the Inpatient unit is that all shifts are Monday - Friday, you only have to work 1 8-hour shift on a Saturday a month. Sometimes this shift gets cancelled as census drops on the weekend.

I feel like OSH is a big family. Everyone knows everyone and I think that makes it a little more of a friendlier environment.

We also get quarterly bonuses from the physicians which is so nice of them to share their profits with the employee.

This is the best place I have ever worked. Highly recommend OSH!!

Everything has the potential to be great, hours can be nice if you are in an area that doesn’t require you to take call but they have a bad habit of making exceptions to the rules in every regard and making their employees lives harder because of it. Which will probably just leave you complaining when you leave the place at night. The work doesn’t feel rewarding probably because of patient acuity and you are expected to behave like a kicked dog and cater above and beyond to all patients and their families. On the plus side you can earn a bonus at this place but they hang it over your head and they threaten to take it away from you any chance they can for any minor offense they can think of and you don’t get paid as well as surrounding hospitals in the area 

Wow guys, I wish I would have found OSH sooner, but to be honest, I wasn't really looking for a job. The hospital is small and so naturally, everyone seems close since you have a chance to meet most of the employees working there. I'm amazed at how well departments interact with each other. Their quarterly bonuses are something that's unheard of in this day and age. They do so much for the employees. I feel very valued here and you would think other companies would grasp the concept that if you invest in your employees, they'll invest in your company. I feel like everyone working here is invested in the company and seeing it succeed. They are all about doing the best for their patients and going above and beyond, which is why they are 5-star rated!! Also, they are physician owned... won't find that in Tulsa! I love my job and wish I would have found this place sooner. I will retire from here.

I worked at OSH for almost 6 years and really loved what I did. When I resigned, I did not have any issues with management or HR. I was not actively looking for a job but was head hunted by a company and I was offered and accepted a new position that I just couldn't pass on. But after I gave my notice via resignation letters, my director never  once reached out to me in the weeks leading up to my last day. I received an online exit interview within the first couple hours of HR getting my letter. After the years I spent at OSH, I expected at least a goodbye, which I never received. Although OSH is a fun place to work, I am saddened by the fact that the management here have little regard for employees.

This facility does as many surgeries as a 350 - 400 bed facility. Currently in the process of developing new service lines. My day is busy visiting all the units, identifying or addressing issues. The staff is great to work with. The hardest part of the job is communicating all changes, issues, and happenings, large or small, to my CEO in the fastest, most efficient manner. The most enjoyable part of my job is to identify areas for improvement, make and act on that plan and watch the expected outcomes come to fruition. The staff are the favorite part of my job. I enjoy building relations with staff and physicians.

I left OSH to move out of state, but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't wish I could have taken this place with me. 

Everything is standardized and streamlined. Cooperative environment. Wonderful CEO and direction. Good pay, great benefits, the best home/work life balance I have ever had. Individual ideas and opinions matter to management. Very little of the compliance hoops to jump through unlike magnet hospitals. Annual parties and social gatherings. Doctors are more friendly with staff and treated as peers.

oh, and quarterly bonuses (at least when I was there) and flexible schedules.

Willing to work with you and want to see you succeed.
