TFHD presents as a very robust hospital system that takes pride in their work. I do believe they take good care of their employees. This is achieved through work/life balance, benefits, and pay. However, my supervisor seemed to be neck deep in work and frequently stressed. Contradicting? On paper, TFHD makes a competitive offer, but not everything is as it seems. I was made aware that certain groups/offices can be quite gossipy and form cliques. One rumor was that they are notorious for letting employees go w/o reason. This was very off-putting to learn. Especially so because the on-boarding trainings revolved about coming to understanding others, kindness, compassion and other positive traits/morals. 
Per my position, my supervisor seemed to pass me off to other employees as means of "training" when coming into the position. The whole process was very unclear, disorganized and quite confusing most times. Some coworkers would present at work with attitude, as if it's a bother for them to show up as well. I would not recommend this company to friends, due to worry they may not "fit in" and also that you can find good pay/benefits anywhere. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Although short staffed, we made it work.  There was camaraderie and concern for getting the job done and done correctly.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Long hours because of long meetings AND wanting to complete what I NEEDED to complete for the day. Because it would start all over again the next day.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment was laid back, everyone doing their position and doing it on time...most of the time.  Month end was always difficult and overtime was necessary.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy and hectic.  Making sure the cash/check posting was completed.  Follow up on accounts with payers, calling self-pay patients, etc.  And meetings, some are over 2 hours each.  In order to get everything completed I worked until 7-8pm.

Fast paced ambulatory/inpatient surgery center that provided many services, including surgery (ortho specialty), endoscopy, chemo and infusion services and a pain procedure clinic.  Nursing staff rotated through all departments, so a typical day was, we were ready for anything!  I learned how to be a perioperative nurse at this wonderful place.  I learned to write policy & procedure, do clinical studies to create educational programs, do inventory management and procurement for our endoscopy service.  My co-workers were the best.  Each of us had special projects in our department and by example I learned to really be a professional RN.  The hardest part of this job was leaving when we moved.  The best part was being part of a real team!

I registered patients on a daily basis for their annual mammograms, and if necessary, scheduled them for any follow-up appointments. I also assisted the technicians with various back office tasks to make sure the films were delivered to the radiologists in a timely manner.
I really enjoyed my co-workers.
The hardest part of my job was calling patients in for follow up views if they had an abnormal mammogram.
Nothing made me more happy than when a questionable mammogram came back normal. To see the relief on a woman's face after going through so much stress is unexplainable.

I started at TFH 2 years ago.  The first office I was in had many issues. Training was ok, but there was a lot of favoritism and gossip and just down right disrespect. I stuck it out though. The Himan Resources department and my Clinic Manager allowed me to transfer to another office that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed for the last year. They take really good care of their employees. Unfortunately you will come across some office managers that just don’t cut it, but HR and Administration are phenomenal people and willing to do what it takes to make you a happy employee if you just talk to them.  Great training, and seasonal events. Small community so we are all family here. I’ve been in healthcare for 26 years and this is by far the best hospital I’ve ever worked for!

TFH Preschool Management creates an environment that lacks the opportunity to allow staff to bond and form a cohesive joy filled day for the children.  Favoritism toward some employees is displayed regularly.  Long time staff lack the knowledge of taking care of children and often yell at kids and punish them in punitive ways. Management frequently moves teachers around creating instability for young children and confusion. Who is my teacher today? is a common question. The culture is extremely stressful and the reason why any teacher continues employment at TFH is for the insurance benefits they receive. Receiving a pay raise as a Preschool Teacher is non existent! After 2 years of glowing reviews, I was still not offered a pay raise.

employees that have been in the Hospital for long, they just want their check and gossip. It is a place to retire, employees have no desire to learn and the management encourage that attitude. Said but true, even the upper management have Zero business skills. if you are willing to sit in the office and do not care for lerning and be good at what you do, forgot to mention, there is absolutely NO recognition for doing better, management actually appreciate, excuse my words, the "dummies". equality is something that you will not find there, if I give an example they will fire me!

Extremely dirty and hazardous environment, but the company does nothing to make it better. They don’t take health and safety of their employees seriously. Upper management treats employees and customers very poorly. There is a very high turnover rate at this establishment because of upper management, but HR continues to ignore the issues. I’ve seen new employees be yelled at by upper management over a $30 mistake. There continues to be a huge issue with gaslighting and manipulative behavior from upper management. Very toxic work environment both physically and mentally yet all complaints continue to be ignored by HR. 

This is a great place to work with great benefits. But just like all the either reviews, management will choose friendships and personal liking over your quality of work. I had a shift lead and another co worker pick on me daily. You could feel their energy towards me and so did other co workers. Instead of reacting I would stay quiet and keep to myself. One day I finally went home crying and went to upper management. The next day I was terminated due to “not being a good fit” . It was messed up. But again, Management is there for friendships and personal liking and not the good of the business.
