Patients and Staff are submerged within an environment of family
Critical Care Tech./Unit Technician (Former Employee), Manchester, NH – April 14, 2013
Pros: culture and values
Cons: tuition reimbursement
This was an institution that had a general culture of putting the patient first above all. It was like working with one big family, even interdepartmental when a department suffered a loss of a co worker
Budget/Reimbursement Analyst (Former Employee), Manchester, NH – January 17, 2013
Pros: good health insurance
Cons: too many managers, no training program and an incompetent controller.
There isn't a proper training program in place. Too many managers along with too much micromanaging. Catholic Medical Center would rather fire their own employee then admit to their own deficient training program.
ECG Technician (Current Employee), Manchester, NH – January 2, 2013
Catholic Medical Center is a wonderful place to work, I have throughtly enjoyed my time there and am sad to think about leaving the team. The people I worked with always worked as a team helping each other out in anyway possible. The typical day at work someday could seem overwhelming with the seemingly never ending stream of inpatient add ons for testing. – more... There was always someone there that had your back at that moment when you felt like the work may not get accomplished in a timely fashion that made it seem much simpler and quite possible. Everyone worked together well and I learned that it's okay to ask for help if you need it. – less
In my personal opinion during my contract at this hospital there were a lot of management structure problems. The staff was very easy to get along with and very accepting of training and helping orientate me.

Extremely dissatisfied with cmc
coordinator (Former Employee), ICU – September 25, 2012
Pros: compensation
Cons: everything else. see above.
Very poor management (spoke about staff to other coworkers, unreasonable, had obvious favorite staff, etc). Abundance of rude, unwelcoming & unprofessional staff in dept. Good compensation.
Certified Surgical Tech/First Assist (Former Employee), Manchester NH – September 14, 2012
Pros: almost everything
Cons: many hours on call
CMC was a great place to work the environment was positive with a great emphasis on patient care. Very good surgeons, wonderful learning and working experience
Working for a company that made me feel like I was part of a big family.
Environmental Services Technician I (Former Employee), Manchester, NH – September 13, 2012
Pros: employee appreciation and the free food
Cons: not having enough time to be as meticulous with my cleaning and disinfecting as i strive to be.
A typical day at work began in the morning when I would arrive at the hospital, sign in, get my hospital scrubs to wear while I performed my daily work duties, grab the pager that was assigned to me for the day, and say hello to my co-workers. I was assigned to clean the operating rooms between cases. I learned how very important infection control is – more... and how important it is that everyone adheres to the hospital's universal precaution policies and safety policies. I had good communication with my manager and we got along very well. I enjoyed working there and most of my co-workers were friendly and had warm personalities. They seemed to look out for each other and offered help when needed. When things were slow and there weren't any cases in the operating room, I would be assigned to clean floors, windows, bathrooms, the nurses and doctors lounges, dusting, and patient rooms after they were discharged. I liked performing those job duties. Working in the operating rooms was more stressful because I had a shorter time span to clean each room to get it ready for the next case. When I clean, I am thorough and like to do the job to the best of my ability, but I found this to be difficult while under a tight time constraint. I did the best I could under the circumstances. I think the most enjoyable parts of the job were my co-workers and how they could make the job fun, and the delicious food in the cafe. – less

Licensed Nursing Assistant (Current Employee), Manchester NH – September 7, 2012

Cons: not enough hours

RN (Current Employee), Manchester NH – July 21, 2012
Great co workers, strong team players. Over all culture has diminished over the past few years. Upper management VERY poor, ineffective, out of touch and unrealistic with expectations of staff. Compensation is fair
A typical day consists of typing and reviewing patient medical records to ensure medical procedures, pharmacologic, and patient demographics are correct.
Get worked to death in a horrible environment with great co workers
Registered Nurse (Current Employee), Manchester – April 29, 2012
Pros: pay
Cons: work conditions, staffing levels, no breaks, directors, management
The good is some very great and hard working co workers who are at the top of their field. The bad is human resources, most all of upper management, and the WORST department directors you could dream of. They pay pretty well, but you will earn it every minute of every shift! Sad how people come here for training and experience and leave, or jump to – more... different floors and departments. or simply leave because of the bologna. No union at this hospital, in fact human resources will give MADITORY classes on why unions are bad ( seriously! ) Watch your department director carry on extramarital affairs with your co workers for increased job satisfaction. Cmc became so good after optima split but quickly sank into what it is now, so sad. Do yourself a favor and apply somewhere else. Or watch the super s l o w HR department in the hiring process. – less
