Sentara Williamsburg, Sentara Norfolk, Sentara Virginia Beach,Sentara Independence ER : Mind boggling Experience. - Clinical -Non Nursing Sentara Health Employee Review

Flexible schedule-choose your own schedule Excellent teamwork and coworkers Benefits-Sentara owns their insurance company :) Easy to transition into a different role with additional training or knowing someone in the hospital

Low pay compared to other companies for the same position

Cytotechnologists here are compensated more competitively than at other hospitals in the area. The organization offers excellent benefits, including generous PTO, sick time, and maternity leave. Depending on your role within the department, there may also be opportunities to support other Sentara hospitals, providing additional variety and experience. Additionally, the cytotechnologists in the department are wonderful colleagues and a pleasure to work with.

The management within the Cytology department is highly disappointing. While the initial hiring experience is positive, the treatment by management tends to change quickly afterward. There appears to be noticeable favoritism, which contributes to a challenging work environment. Additionally, cytotechnologists often feel limited in their ability to seek other opportunities due to the specialized nature of the field and the lack of local job options, leading many to remain in the position despite ongoing dissatisfaction. There is a lack of transparency, with staff often left unaware of important happenings within the pathology, histology, and cytology department.
