Patient Centered
Graduate Administrative Intern (Former Employee), Schaumburg, IL – May 1, 2013
CTCA is a great organization to work for. They truly are a great example of an organization that focuses all their attention on the needs of their patients and patient's family. In addition to being patient-centered, they also do a lot for their employees and strive to create a fun and upbeat working environment.

Do not work here....
Insurance verifier, biller (Former Employee), Zion, IL. Ops Center – April 10, 2013
Pros: nothing
Cons: micro-management, retaliation, non-educated supervisors
Like stated in the previous statements, this is a great place for patients but they do not care about their employees. First of all, the supervisors have no clue on what they are doing, it's the blind leading the blind. They micro-manage you and expect you to teach them because they are clueless. I can name one supervisor that holds a degree, the remainder – more... are supervisors because they knew someone, are related to another supervisor or they were one of the favorites because this place does not promote on your credentials, experience or education at all. If you do speak up or report wrong-doing, you are retaliated against and please don't report to HR because they will have you thinking they are working with you and it will turn to be against you. They are against people that actually come to work to do work, the supervisors want you to tell your business and laugh and giggle in their face so you can be labeled as a favorite. There are many people I seen come and go including myself that was mistreated, retaliated against and experienced prejudice in many aspects. This company is not fair and I DO NOT recommend this place to anybody. They make you hate coming to work everyday and that is not good. When I left this company, family and friends noticed an immediate change in my moods and attitude because I was miserable there. It's definitely much more I experienced working there that was not mentioned but its not enough time or space to go on. Good Luck!!! P.S. I forgot to mention that they take you through so much and don't pay well.... And there is always an excuse around the time it comes up for everyone to get a raise. – less

DoNot work here as a Phlebotomist
Phlebotomist (Former Employee), Tulsa,OK – March 2, 2013
Pros: good company to the patients
Cons: 30min lunch, lab part sucks
This company is a good company to the patients.. Management in the lab department sucks. It is so much drama on day shift. I have wanted to get at this place for years and now that I have been there I never want to go back. The supervisor sucks she lets people who has been there before her run things. She also starts up alot of stuff between coworkers. – more... The workers have been there for years and there not even happy to be there anymore there just there for the money/bonuses. The lab is the sadiest place in the hospital, everybody is out to get you. The people that has been there the longest bosses you around like you are there puppets and if you dont do what they say then they will get you in trouble. Its one girl in the lab that has been there for awhile she doesnt do a thing, she has everybody under her do the work while she does what she wants. Do not work in the lab it is a joke. I had to get out of there fast. I was only there for a couple of months, and all this happened. O yeah and if you are not a fast learner then this place is not for you, because you will not get good training, If you mess up everybody will know except you, you will be the talk of the lab.

A lot of potential...
Specialist (Former Employee), Newnan, Georgia – March 1, 2013
There is a lot of potential for CTCA and the services they provide their patients. They just need to work out the start up operation challenges for future hospitals. Work/Life Balance for the staff was over the top for the clinical staff and the mass of patients that were being accepted with a hospital that was not ready for the flow of new patients – more... and transfers. This caused burn out and issues for the admin side, but most importantly the patient care and attention that is promised. – less

Very poor environment for employees
Staff (Former Employee), Goodyear, AZ – February 20, 2013
Very poor environment if you are an employee, compensation is significantly below market value. As an employee I faced very heavy retaliation for reporting racial predjuice against myself... would not recommend this place.

There were both positive and negative aspects of this company. Benefits were exceptional.
Physician Coder (Former Employee), Goodyear Arizona – August 22, 2012
Pros: employee paid time off.it is a health conscious environment, opportunities were available to some extent for promotions.
Cons: llittle communication for employees and the corporate office, all issues or problems were addressed, resolved at local level.
I enjoyed working with many of the people I met. We were given discounts on health supplements and encouraged to participate in the community activities. Some medical services were provided at no cost to the employee. This saved us both time and money.

Wonderful hospital if you are a patient, not so much if you are an employee.
Patient Accounts (Former Employee), Zion, IL – July 4, 2012
This is a wonderful place to go for treatment if you are a cancer patient. CTCA prides itself on the mother standard of care for it's patients. However, unless you are a member of the leadership team, your opinions, concerns, questions, do not matter. If you try to voice a concern, express an idea, ask a supervisor for help, or try to stand up for yourself, – more... you are treated very poorly by your immediate supervisor and the human resource department will not listen to anything you have to say, they believe that their supervisors are gold. CTCA is not the same place it was to work many years ago, they do not care about employees or family, the bottom line is money and that is very apparent that it is the only thing they care about. – less

The hours were great, the environment was better, and my coworkers were overall helpful which made it a very easy job to fullfill
Travel Scheduler (Former Employee), Philadelphia, PA – June 15, 2012
Pros: the hours were great. the people and patients were a joy.
Cons: there were many deadlines to meet.
My review of my job at Jefferson was very Good. I would have never left but at the time I was moving to Germany with my husband who was in the military. I would recommend this facility to family and friends. This was one of the best jobs I've had.

Wouldn't recommend the food service department
Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Tulsa, OK. – March 7, 2012
Pros: wonderful patients, great coworkers, free lunch
Cons: horrible management & human resources department
This specific review is for the food service department. Management used an authoritarian approach, felt employees were slaves that should be belittled & made to do demeaning work in front of others to keep everyone else in line- this tactic was also used in front of HR staff, other hospital employees to show the management's "power". There was a very – more... high turnover rate & constant complaints being given during hospital-wide surveys. These complaints were eventually brought to a consultant but there were never any changes except for staff quitting do to retaliation (schedule/shift changes, poor work detail, etc.). There were Pro's that I saw in the hospital as a whole & they are as follows: 1. The patients & their families- working with them was the reason I stayed at this facility as long as I did. 2. The hospital culture, values & the atmosphere when managment went home- very caring & dedicated to the patients- we really worked hard to prove the values of the hospital & I think (minus management) this was a very positive atmopshere. – less
