Centura Health Employer Reviews

The job at Centura Health was a very rewarding job with helping patients and their family be able to have a satisfying meal going through the circumstances they are in. Although a lot of tough work is done to achieve this with patients in the end the support of the co-workers, management, and hospital staff makes up for those hard days

Great company with long history of providing excellent healthcare to the people of Colorado.

St. Anthony's hospital at orientation has quality focus for patient care. TherEx-a contract company pushes high productivity and employees supposed to be responsible for high quality care as well. There is a lot of talk about quality but no walk. Scary scenario for patients when a business model is emphasized by management

I loved posting payments for this company just hated the long hours during month end!

I had heard bad things about Centura Health (Villa Pueblo)before I started there but I decided to bite the bullet and see for myself if Centura Health was a good company. The interview process made it sound like this was a place committed values and employee success. Now, the benefits aren't that bad because they offer 401k , and medical/health/life/dental/vision – more... benefits. They also offer meals, and the cost can be taken out of your check. Other than that, this place has NO respect for their CNA's. The turnover rate at this place is completely insane. The nurses talk to you as if you were a dog on a leash, and the D.O.N. has NO PROBLEM telling you that she "will not get involved with issues on the floor". I went to the D.O.N. after a had an issue with an LPN there that I felt was being racist towards me. She used profanity while talking to me, and took 22 minutes out of her work time to complain to me about a room tray.? Really?!? 22 minutes?? These are not isolated incidents as I still have friends working there, and they still complain of the nurses being on Power-trips and the D.O.N. walking around like she's a god when in fact she does nothing but schedule "COMPLAINT sessions" about the CNA's. Way to go Centura!!! You should be sooooo proud to have such a "winning team" there at the Villa Pueblo skilled unit. Now, not only have I resigned from this god-forsaken place, but I have also filed a grievance against them. This place is a JOKE! There mottos count for absolutely NOTHING if they cannot maintain their integrity. They need to wake-up and realize that the nurses make the CNA's lives HORRIBLE, and if you are going to continue to keep nurses who are allowed to use profanity, nurses who are allowed to yell at CNA's, and a D.O.N. ,who stated she was not getting involved, on your staffing roster...well then...you deserve to let them take that whole ship down. Because that's exactly what will happen. I cannot say how GRATEFUL I am NOT to have to return to work there. Every day was a living nightmare, and I, for one, am sad to say that the 7 mottos that Centura has,is a lie! They paint a pretty picture from a far, but up close...its just a picaso. – less

A typicial day and my curret positon, includes answering phones making appoinments, and schuleding colonoscopys, there are days that we have an lot of down time, my co-workers are somewhat of a help if I need them, but will not help if im not there they leave all the front desk duities till i return, there is no managment in the building

I have learned a lot over the last 15 years of being employed with Centura Health. I have had the opportunity to work with great leaders and various departments within the hospital system.

To much mannagement problems in the o.r. People very unprofessional and disrespectful to new people a lot of blaming others for there own mistakes made need to clean house take out all the old transfers from other centura operating rooms and start with new people who care and patient is number one priority need a director with or experience and managers – more... who are capable of handling employees who do whatever they want – less

Enjoy working with others, easy to get along with other co workers and management team, there was nothing hard to do when working and most enjoyable part of job is meeting and talking to the people.

I work at St. Francis Medical Center which is a newer hospital in Colorado Springs, CO. My hours are 7:00-3:30 Monday-Friday. I have enjoyed my time working at St. Francis. My co-workers are all friendly and easy to get along with. In a typical day I sit in the Doctor's Incomplete office making sure all medical records are completed within 30 days of – more... patient discharge. – less

Tied to the phone for the 8 hour shift, answering customer service calls - approximately 50-60 per day.

Most departments at least have consistant (good or bad) management. Management in registration makes a bad policy that staff figures an easy way to negate or work around so management makes another bad policy to close the work around thus perpetuating the problems instead of fixing the bad original policy just so they can save face about being wrong – more... about the original policy.
Management is through fear and intimidation. Workplace bullying is present with most interactions with Director and Manager. Negativity is the rule of thumb and leadership is not practiced nor is it in the personna of the Director or Manager. The focus is always on how "bad" or stupid the management believes their staff is and conversations among managment incenuate this.
Management straight up asks you who is helpful then in the next question asks who is not doing their job! What?!
Employee satisfaction survey is done at the same time every year so the management butters up the staff for 2-4 months before survey then unloads all the write ups, policy changes and negativity shortly after survey results come out. Then repeat the process again for each survey. Turnover is astrinomical, management thinks that everyone leaving is because of a "better opportunity." However in conversations with the people leaving the phrase "I just cant take it anymore" is the most common. Staff frequently voices that had the survey come out 1 month later they would have scored management significantly lower. In exit interviews staff does not want to get a bad report if a future employer calls for a reference so I just said it was for a better opportunity. Which is just code for "I cant tell you what I really want to in fear of missing a future opportunity due to being marked as not rehire-able."
Work itself is not difficult after you get confident with it and coworkers are fantastic, helpful people. Some days are busy while most are too busy for the staffing level. All employees are overloaded with responsibilities and the constant nagging from managment of doing some arbitrarily set minimum number of registrations per hour without regard to other tasks that are required of the position but not measured within this minimum requirement adds to the dissatisfaction of the staff.
As a new employee I was trained differently by each trainer so nothing was consistent. Sometimes each one contradicted the other. Senior staff did things differently from what the trainers trained and sometimes knew more about it then the trainers. You could tell the trainers were stressed about their workload too.
Most employees move on to other areas within the same department where at the very least they are not scrutinized over every minute of their day and can typically lay low and under managements radar or they transfer to another department altogether as soon as an opening presents itself.
Feedback from staff that has been there a long time is that they all help each other out and look out for each other, however they state that they can only do that for so long before managment singles out individuals and harasses them until they quit.
I cant confirm it because I never had a review but I heard from most people I talked to that the reviews were all average and if you had a high score in 1 or 2 areas they would mark you down in 1 or 2 just to offset the higher scores. So everyone pretty much got the same review even if they were far superior or far worse then their peers and to the standards for the department.Many staff voiced that the scoring and measuring was group based so their raises were not an individual thing. They were based on how the department as a whole did. – less

They where great but comuinction sucks lot of lazy people not putting forth they end of there job

Management is inept, undereducated,unethical and worthless. Leadership is the worst I've witnessed in my years in this career. This institution exemplifies what is wrong with healthcare. Nurse administrators sitting on their rearends doing nothing and collecting big salaries, while patients and payers suffer

A typical day would include; a morning meeting, sorting through work request by safety concern or longest open. collecting parts and pieces needed for request, going into all areas of the hospital to perform work.Often working independently, but having a lot of contact with nurses and other departments throughout the hospital. I worked with a great – more... team of individuals that were willing to cross train when the opportunity was giving. The most enjoyable part ofteh job was that people that I worked with and their flexibility to teach and be taught so that we could all be a more equip team. The hardest part was being flexible for someone, usually in another department, who treat something like it was an emergency even when it wasn't for safety or patient care. – less

Post insurance and patient payments. Reconcile payments from several different facilities made through collecton agencies. Reconcile and balance electronically posted payments from many different sysems. Research lost payments. I am the trainer for the cash posters. I learned a lot about HIPPA rules and regulations. I love having so many different things – more... to do throughout the day. It makes the day go very fast. I would have to say the hardest part of the day for me, is not having as much human interaction as I was use to in retail. – less

The Radiology Department is all about numbers and making money. I am sad to say that management doest not care about the incredible employees that they are lucky to have. Over worked, under staffed, and just plain abused is how I left feeling about this job (in Cat Scan).

I did enjoy much of my work while with Centura Health. I learned a lot about Active Directory, SMS and also much about customer service. The quality of the people that are employed with Centura is quite high, great caring, intelligent people. Overall it is a great and very stable company.

Centura Health is Colorado's largest health care providers with 14 hospitals, 7 home care facilities, an employed physician group and over 14000 associates. I'm motivated by the organization's mission and the care provided by engaged and committed associates. The organization is well positioned for health care reform. There are opportunities for growth.

Great place to work and the administration was filled with amazing people! Great pay and benefits. Management cares about the personal lives of their employees as well.
