Pros

Almost family- like, very friendly atmosphere. We don't have the catchy"Do you have a Beaumont doctor" phrase, but we have better doctors and nursing care. The number of Beaumont patients changing to our hospital is the proof!

Cons

Like any place, we have our slackers who do just enough to get by. This puts a greater burden on those of us who truely care about our hospital, our patients and our co-workers. Wish HR would be a bit more strict on all associates working at their best.

Pros

The patient population can be very rewarding to work with, and there can be lots of different job opportunities but very limited advancement with mainly lateral department shifts if a person is looking for change.

Cons

Raises are almost non-existent. The "raise" is a yearly COLA of between 2%-3%. There is no ability to talk to anyone regarding a raise, even the admin staff are fully stonewalled in the overlly corporate monolithic HR style of maintaining "fair" wages. I have worked here for several years and I actually earn less now because my "raises" do not keep up with inflation and the actual cost of living. They maintain their functionality on squeezing as much as they can out of one employer by slowly shifting more job responsibilities called "opportunities" onto you without extra pay or change in title that would get a pay increase. They look to higher level licensed staff to provide more coverage for roles that they won't hire for or cut in departments. They do "organizational restructuring" every 6 months because more staff quit, they don't replace the staff, and tell others to absorb the former FT employees job responsibilities without pay increase and being told not to go into OT.
