Thorek Memorial Hospital

At Thorek, if you do your job well or not well, word will spread quickly in a small hospital. Building personal relationship and achieving results will earn you respect and job security. At Thorek, employees stay a very long time or very short time. Typically, short term employees are younger, lack the experience, patience and  prefer a more corporate environment. Long term employees stay at Thorek because they are fed up with large corporations, red tape politics, and prefer stability in their lives. On many occasions, I have seen people leaving Thorek for "greener" pastures just to re-apply to come back after they have realized that large organizations are not that stable and will not put up with their laziness or bad behavior. The only area I like to see improved are health care benefits especially for long term employees with families. Having a matching 401K will also help retain talent in the long run. Some of the comments here I recognize are from employees that were dismissed due to unprofessional behaviors (as you can see from their unprofessional comments, focuses on personal attacks, and mis-spelled words).

This is a terrible place to work. You will be underpaid, understaffed, and uncared for. HR consists of two people that will not help employees and only cares about the hospital and its reputation. The management only cares about their checks. The patients here are seen as paychecks and are treated extremely unprofessionally. You cannot stick up for a patient without being berated and will be demanded to admit a patient even if they do not need to be, in order for the hospital to get paid by insurance. The management will make you phish for patients by calling nursing homes and telling them there are open beds for psych evaluations. You will get no support from your supervisor and have to take care of the whole ER without any productive help.  Also, you will never have a set schedule. Be prepared to be punished for months if you ask to have 3 days in a row off. There's no set schedule of days or nights; they will put you where they need you. The only good part about this job was that even though everyone was miserable, you were miserable together and could bond over that.

I had personally experience good and bad things. But I had taken everything for my own good and to grow. I believe if you enjoy working with patients and know how to work in team, it will always be an easy daily task. There will always be Pros and Cons in any place you work, but so far the schedule flexibility at Thorek is such a blessing. On the other hand, the PTO is not so good but after so many years of working here you'll get to have at least 3-4 wks vacation and that is only if you work your 40 hrs., otherwise you will only have some sick days to cover. I do love working at Thorek, mostly because I had made really good and amazing friends starting from doctors and coworkers who make of my day and easy and fun day.  I do want to mention that raises are not so good, it would be nice that part of improving the hospital is to also make the staff feel valuable for what they do with a good raise, and acknowledging their years of labor, but more than anything counting the great job they do to make patients feel like they're home.

I worked here for a few years, and it was a good learning experience, but it was NOT easy compared to working at any other hospital I've ever worked at. 
The patient ratios are insane and there was a lack of camaraderie and help from other staff on the unit, mostly because everyone was stressed and swamped. The equipment on the unit often wouldn't work, and things would frequently be out of stock. 
I learned after I left how much I was significantly underpaid for working in Chicago with my level of experience. The work schedule always came out way too late, and was only posted on a wall- I never received an email with the schedule. Management was always too busy to address concerns of their staff. 
The best part was being able to float to different units and gain exposure to different areas. 

In my time at Thorek, I met a bunch of different people from different backgrounds. Depending on the department in which people worked, their outlook varied from happy to downright miserable. 

Thorek seems to give people opportunities to advance and values one's ability to handle multiple and different tasks at once, with the ability to transfer from one area to another depending on ability and availability. However, new employee turnover is high and I suspect that this may be due to expecting people to do too much at once without the opportunity for the right training.

Thorek is the place for you if you’re looking to expand your medical knowledge in insurances, patient care, and overall are ready to work. Different people on here in different depts have different experiences but mine is fairly pleasant. During my time here i was able to obtain a lot of OT and worked different departments Growing becomes hard since no one really goes anywhere. If you are young and ready to work Thorek is the hospital for you. Raises are very good on my experience. Just come to work, do your job, and go home. This is that type of work place. The hospital is small so whatever you do or say it will spread fast. Management was very understanding and never had a problem with them. My co workers were great people to work with. 

I was interviewed for a particular job title, and got hired for a different job ! And no one even informed me about this change. That should have been my first warning sign about this place.
During my work here, I got no yearly raise, no bonus, not even a performance evaluation ! not just me, most of the emoployees were treated that way, only a select few who were management favorites got promoted and got raise. And if you faught for your rights, they put your job requisition on their career section; indirectly hinting you that your job is in danger.
The employee turnover was so great that there was no consistency in the work.

The department I worked in needs a lot of improvement because there were lots of times that a lot of the workers would get held behind in work because all the software each one needed was installed in one computer. Exp the software for transcribing pathology reports and the send out lab software was all in the same computer and it would cause friction because those two things were daily tasks. We suggested several times to have software split into two different computer so there wouldn't be a hold on the work but management always said it wasn't in the budget and we had to work around it.

This job had me burnt out. Best decision I made was leaving the company. The turnover is absurd, new hires came and left. Management doesn't not care about you at all. You only get a 30 minute lunch and you have to be back on time, plus you are obligated to work the weekends. AND if your coworkers call off or quit, you are screwed over by working their shifts, doesn't matter if its in the emergency room, overnight or weekend, MANAGEMENT doesn't care. ZERO employee appreciation, never get thanked for anything they only give you pizza. The registration part is not hard, just the fact that they expect you to do the job of 3 people. They are cheap!! But let me say one last thing, They make sure that the new hires get paid more than you with less experience.
