Until I realized there is no opportunity for advancement. No further training or skills learned. Also there is no management anymore since the one manager left, it is now just a free-for-all. They have a terrible PTO and Sick Leave policy. You cannot use your sick time when you're sick. They make you use your earned PTO first. So unless you are deathly ill and out for weeks, you can't even use your sick time and even if you do you must first deplete your PTO. No decent retirement plan or offering. They no longer accept their own health insurance as a tier on employee's insurance. There is one person in HR who handles multiple buildings and never has time or good answers for you. There is one scheduler who is not great at her one and very easy job and management hardly communicates with her properly enough to fill any given day. No one has a clue what the other is doing around here. No one checks your work. There is no accountability. Nurses ignore patients and continually hand them off to the next shift without dealing with any issues in real time. God forbid a nurse answer a call bell and take a patient to the bathroom...or GOD FORBID change a diaper or a bed.
Over half the patients sent here for rehab are NOT REHABBABLE. Most are or should be psych patients and others should be hospice or wind up becoming hospice or dying before they get a chance to become hospice. Send these people to where they can be comfortable. Stop putting them through this insanity to line your pockets. No actual payroll department to ensure proper pay each pay period. Management gives YOU an attitude if they do not pay you correctly. Shady, fishy, deceitful, oblivious administration.

Care, comfort, heal...that's their saying...just not as true anymore. Especially when it comes to how they view / treat employees. "Yes people" are promoted, not those who are best qualified with fresh vision, but those that will just do as they are told and enforce this same mentality. Told many times not to question..."just do it". Professionals with licenses need to be able to question and should always be well informed. Besides, why wouldn't management want input from such well educated and dedicated staff? Hmmmm.... Management nearly always looking to tear down, not build up. Former clinicians in high places of management / authority are out of touch with being clinicians and their knowledge of their own systems is suffering. This also shows in their growing disrespect for constructive suggestions from the clinicians active in their respective fields. They treat these well educated, dedicated employees with disdain for daring to point out where the health system is failing and could do better. Really a shame...it was different when the Sisters of the Holy Redeemer were more active in the mission of healthcare. Currently no evidence of the sisters being involved. Not sure why. Frustrating.... simply frustrating. Oh, almost forgot...they were always just a mediocre payor, often no cost of living increase for 4 to 5 yrs - in fact that is the norm - but the benefits used to make up for it. Recent changes in benefits, too numerous to mention, have now made them a mediocre payor with less than average benefits. Totally dropped an employer funded pension in favor of 403b (like 401k) match which effectively DECREASED their contribution to retirement by 65 to 70%. For example, from an anticipated pension contribution of $8000/yr, down to a $3300/yr match, IF employee contributes amount to max company contribution. Rumor that pay would increase post benefit changes, but alas......

I worked as a field nurse for 7 plus years and I loved my job. It used to be much more manegeable and enjoyable. With time things changed, new DON, more territories to cover, but also more work with less staff harder patients that required another level of care (you dont get your superiors support with issues like these). Increased workload and patient acuity, increased driving time (they do not pay per hour but by the number of patients you see so the more you drive the less you make unless you are willing to work til 10 pm which many times they told me that if I had to I would need to work til those hours-mind you the hours are supposed to be 8 am-4:30 pm) . We became understaffed and there was favoritism with newer nurses. Work load was unsafe and the quality of care was not the same as before. Discussed this with the highest authorities but they said they did not care and that basically you had to do what they wanted you to do or else. Really disappointing how things turned all about the money pretending to have the patients in the first place. I got burned out and fed up, I lived to work and document besides seeing patients which was the part i loved the most. Every time we nurses were requiered to document more and more. I worked and average of 10 hours a day 5 days a week. No time for family or life. I am very happy I quit. Field nurses are very unappreciated and even exploited and they do not really think about patients, but the money they want to make.

The people I worked with, nurses and doctors, were pretty much the best part of my job. My fellow nurses were supportive and great to be around. They are always willing to help and help me succeed. Doctors are pretty good and respectful. A few that are not so warm to be around, but the ones I mostly worked with were great.

Compensation is pretty much behind any other hospital outside of a couple other hospitals. Nothing seems to be changing with that either. Benefits are alright. Compared to other hospitals, we pay more and get less benefits even if you do what you have to to get a benefits discount. Hard to get OT shifts and there are rarely incentive programs. 

Worst part of the job, management. My manager was basically useless and stayed in the office all day long. Never came to rounds either, so they didn't know what was going on half the time. Supervisors are clueless sometimes and don't even know when a patient has transfer orders so they never get moved out of a unit until hours past when they should. They will also pull nurses all over the hospital too. Doesn't matter what it is either. If they want you to go to another unit to just take vitals, you'll get pulled. ICU nurses get pulled to maternity to give all the meds and answer call lights while the actual maternity nurses don't do anything but the bare minimum. Nurses on the med sure and tele floors are getting more patients than they should have. They should have a 5 patient assignment max and get hit with more than 5 consistently.

I could go on, but you get the point. I don't see things changing anytime soon either. You're basically just a number here. Nursing has become a joke since COVID. Overworked, underpaid and expected to do everyone else's job. 

I applied for the position of receptionist II.  I went in for the interview in front of a group of people and it was ridiculous. They call it an audition and it has nothing to do with the position. However,  they all seemed pretty nice and a lot of fun so I excepted the job. The first few weeks everybody seemed really nice and very helpful. Then I noticed things started to get negative I was being micromanaged and nobody wanted to help me.  Every single week the office manager was sending emails to everybody about the performance and threatened write ups.  She required we ask her permission like a child for every thing. After a few months I noticed how much she plays favorites  The favorites were like spies every little thing was being watched .if you went to the bathroom you were timed, if you came in one minute late you were timed, everything you said and did was reported.I know some people were lying about each other and always trying to get each other in trouble   I proceeded to go to upper management because I was very upset about the situation. They could care less. I am not the only one that’s happened to there is a high turnover there other than the few favorites I am now working at another hospital making more money with much nicer people much better management.   Do not  work here or just get in To get your experience and get out after a year that way you can get get more money somewhere else you do not want to stay here.  Everyone deserves respect and to be treated right.  Holy Redeemer will not .

Most people here have a nasty attitude and only look out for themselves. People barely say Good Morning or make eye contact. The only time people care enough to check on you is when they’re looking for something in return workwise, want to know your business or find a thing to complain to upper management about. 
This employer ain’t for the faint at heart: It’s a Very toxic, clique-ish work environment with lots of micro-aggressions, Nepotism, People snooping around on others, Favoritis and a host of other DOL & ADA violations: such as Bullying & Gaslighting from management to subordinate, as well as colleague to colleague discrimination that goes unchecked. Its not the praise of stellar employees, but rather the daily grit (and desperation of employees to provide for and feed their families), as well as the ancient, enduring prayers of the Sisters of the Holy Redeemer, that keeps this raggedy place open. I would steer clear of this place and ONLY apply if its between you working here or cashiering at Shoprite.
Pros
Relaxed work environment
Cons
Payrate, Benefits are Trash (Birth Control not covered), not all Federal Holidays Observed, Very forced, meanspirted, Toxic Work Culture, 


Working in a hospital means dealing with professionals and the general public on the daily basis. It is stressful and rewarding at the same time. The hospital setting is very fast paced and things change in an instant and i need to be able to adjust in an instant. I have learned how to multitask on many levels. It can be stressful but at the same time rewarding because i managed to do it. When a critical moment happens with a patient the whole unit pulls together to stabilize the situation and it is a good feeling being able to assist the medical staff. Management is ok and the workplace culture is ok. The hospital setting as a whole is a big team and each department depends on another department to complete their job task and for the most part we work together to accomplish our goals. The hardest part of the job is the unknown, you head to work and you don't know if is it going to be a calm day or completely out of control and being overwhelmed with patients and that is the nature of this business. The most enjoyable part of the day is at the beginning and end of the day. At the beginning of the day and seeing your friends/team and catching up and then at the end of the day knowing you did your best and the team made it through another day.

HRHC is a very loyal and compassionate, providing patients with quality care. However, that's all they care about. They have a lack of concern and empathy for the employees needs and personal dilemmas. They expect you to work past your scheduled time, be available on your days off,  put family and other after work activities on the back burner because they are short of staff. They also put rules into place but break them when its convenient for them.  The customer is always right even if they are wrong and a proper investigation is never held when a complaint is made. If you choose to work for this company be prepared for low pay grades, traveling extremely far with low mileage reimbursements, put everything else second to work, and don't plan anything after work or on your days off because you are required to always be available. This company is patient centered and preaches the mission statement but forget what that means when it involves the employees! Management is unfair and unreasonable! You as an employee is just a body, nothing more.

The company is nice enough to give new shoes. Also gives used uniforms. The coworkers at Saint Joseph’s Manor in the food service department  that have been with the company long are very territorial and unwelcoming. They treat & talk to new comers like toddlers. The ones appointed to “ training “ new employees need a course in how to train. They have no patience or skills to train. It was just “ watch me”. No one will give you a tour of where you’ll be working, how to get there or where the break rooms are. Where to put your personal belongings or lunch. You will just be told to come to work early by other coworkers. Who want to leave early. A lot of micro managing from low level supervisors & employees tattle telling, nit picking. You would think this was a job at the FBI & not a food service worker position. Scheduling issues, personal feelings about employees used against them when making their schedule. Schedules subject to change daily without proper notice. Even if you’re off that day. You’ll be expected to know  that your start time has changed or you’re off all together. I see why the place is a revolving door. Great place for college kids to work as a stepping stone. 

Department and management are outsourced. Supervisors and the Manager are employees of the outsourced lab meanwhile the techs are hospital employees. There is no accountability for anything and everything. There is zero communication with staff. There is no follow-up to anything. Diaster is an understatement. Patient safety has gone out the window once the outsourcing began. SOP still has not been updated with the new procedures since the outsourcing took place and that was nearly 2 years ago.  There is constant denial about the staffing shortage. They will work you 16 hours a day at least 6 days in a row and they will work you everyday while having 2 comp days off per month, if you let them. Schedules change without warning. You will work every weekend and every holiday. Expect your PTO requests to go ignored and every year you will lose AT LEAST  a 1 week of PTO (use it or lose it policy).
There is zero communication with the 
 staff.  It's all take and no give.  Management does not work more than 40hrs a week, they use their PTO, they have off every weekend and every holiday. Again, they are not even employed by the hospital and yet the workers are. 

Free parking is the pro
