Arrowhead Hospital Employer Reviews

Worked my butt off there, had to cover many different positions as company was constantly understaffed.

Management are not leaders and don't know how to engage staff.

Top down management with no input allowed from the workers (who have a better concept, and wonderful-diverse input).

Advancement opportunities are non-existent (unless you fit in the "click",willing to bully staff members, or suck up to supervisors).

The most enjoyable part of the job- – more... from a nursing perspective, is the patient (of course).

Cancelled without compensation when census is low, expected to be on call without compensation, yet they will call and get you out of bed at 4AM if they need staff-- it is always all about Arrowhead Hospital. Severly lacking any sense of work/life balance.

Horrifically unprofessional treatment going on at this organzation, in turn this impacts the qualty of patient care and contributes to poor outcomes.

It is common sense, if you take care of your staff they will reciprocate.

I had very few problems working with others. being giving other peoples work to do and being reprimanded for not getting – more... fast enough. Management felt that I wasn't sociable enough after working hours. – less

Job is about getting the patients into the ER for medical attention. First, paperwork must be inputted into system. Then, face-to-face with patient to obtain all information hospital needs, while the patient is in pain, passed out, throwing up, ...

The job is fast paced.. sitting, standing, on your feet.. constantly dealing with patients. The most – more... difficult part of the job is verifying patient's medical insurance benefits within a short time that patient is in the ER.

Training is adequate.. with many interruptions. There is not a set schedule for anyone except those that are managers favorites. They don't have a good training program.

Management is OK. Supervisors have favorites (friends and family members!).

Very difficult to advance to a full time day schedule.

As a newcomer, you never know when you are working. Be prepared to work alot of 2nd shifts and weekends.

Pay is OK. Benefits (if you get hired as a permanent employee) are great.

Takes alot of time to get perfect scores on paperwork that is required for bonus's. – less

Very fast paced and well organized hospital. Very good surgeons and Doctors. Also RN's are well picked. The hardest part of the job is being overworked when short staffed. The best part of the job is when a patient gains a relationship with you and you know your doing your best to keep the room maintained and clean for their healing.

Arrowhead laboratory has a real home feel. The management, MLT's, MT's, phlebotomists and the Pathologist's all work together to ensure great patient care. This team functions as a true team in workload, vacation/time off needs, family emergencies without being intrusive to the individual team players. No drama here!
