Pros

- The people! Sure it's a cliche, but oh so true at EMHS. My coworkers are some of the friendliest, most down-to-earth people I've ever met. My duties are mostly solitary yet I still feel like part of a team. - At a health care organization you would expect great health coverage and EMHS delivers. Life, vision, dental, it's all available. Great employee wellness program. - Good salary relative to position requirements. Low cost of living in the area. - Relaxed non-profit atmosphere.

Cons

- Byzantine organizational structure. The company is currently undergoing a restructuring. Some employees jumped ship expecting layoffs that never occurred. - Long hiring turnaround. - Pay is modest in absolute terms. - Monthly staff meetings are dull (but hey that's true just about anywhere). - Not much to do around Brewer, ME.

Pros

There were no real pros

Cons

Trained for half a day in diagnostic imaging and witnessed multiple issues effecting patient safety and profit over quality. Was told directly that if there were to be audits serious infractions could result. I refuse to work in a place that abuses staff and actively demonstrates disrespect of an entire dept that generates so much profit and plays an important part in clinical decision making. Also relies on staff to generate detailed reports above and beyond what is rational and offered no discussion or plan for improvement. No wonder they are always dying for help there and the patient wait times are often 1 to 2 hours for routine outpatient imaging. Entire staff from hr down was overwhelmed and understaffed with little to no orientation for a large and busy facility. Drs were explained to be threatening and harassing of staff as well on very first shift of training and that you should just get used to it and show you "want to learn" and there would be less harassment. Laughable in my 14 years of experience ive never seen such disrespect.
