LOVE the people I work with, very dissatisfied with the company - Staff Nurse Novant Health Employee Review

Pros

The insurance, my coworkers, single patient rooms, free parking for staff.

Cons

I felt as though I was lied to at orientation. They spoke about how much they care about their employees and since I have been there I feel very underappreciated by management and providers, and many of my fellow nurses feel the same way as well. They continue to put on more work and responsibility (I.e. we are now 7:1 even on days which I find horrific especially now that we are entering flu and pneumonia season) yet the raises are minimal and benefits are not really that great. I was told that we were to get a "generous" sum of money to go back to school, which turned out to be on $2,000 a year---which would probably barely cover text books. I also feel like it costs an arm and a leg to request time off.

Pros

Good pay, benefits, time off, and they strive hard to make employees feel heard. Not afraid of change or doing something different. Definitely a lot of effort in turning feedback into action.

Cons

Corporate smothers the smaller offices. Way too big and everything is way too detailed to where nothing is easy to find or understand (policies change almost weekly). IT is outsourced and not helpful. Everything is cheap. Employees feel like pampered cattle. "Float" is only for bigger offices and isn't guaranteed. They will short staff you in a heart beat and tell you your burn out is "growing pains". Raises and bonuses are pathetic. Better compared to PHC, but when the CEO earns 6+ million every year and all we are given is $400 bonus and a 1% raise because we didn't reach impossible goals = not fair. 8-5 M-F is not ideal for healthcare. Bring back more Friday at noon hours.
