Detroit Medical Center Employer Reviews

A day at Detroit Medical Center was always filled with new experiences. I learned to collaborate with others to achieve common goals.

I enjoyed my short time spent at the Detroit Medical Center. The hospital was organized and fast pace (just how I love to work). I encountered several different types of people with different personalities while taught me how to deal with people. The hardest part of my job was having to sit in the lounge. I had to sit there and monitor the screen to – more... alert families of their loved one coming out of surgery. – less

My job as Patient Advocate allows me to encounter all kinds of people. Customer satisfaction is the largest component of being a Patient Advocate. I have learned that satisfaction can range from a listening ear to resolving an issue. Most of my coworkers understand and work as team players. They understand our goal is to assist patients. One of the – more... best qualities my management holds is the open-door policy. Whenever an employee has an issue, he or she can contact management and go into their offices and discuss the issue. The hardest part of my job is dealing with the deaths of young adults. I have the responsibility of being with the families after a death has occurred. This can be difficult at times when the death occurred unexpectedly. The most enjoyable part of my job is when I have resolved an issue and the customer leaves satisfied. – less

Working at Detroit Medical Center, Sinai Grace Hospital was a privilege. I started out working in General Radiology then moved over to the Cardiac Catheterization, Interventional Radiology, Electrophysiology, and Interventional Neuro department. The people I worked with became my family. We worked together as a team in very stressful situations saving – more... lives. It was a stressful and demanding job but gratifying when you save a patient that is having a heart attack. From my direct management to my co-workers we all became close. Hardest part of my job was losing a patient as well as the call hours which left little time for sleep. Most enjoyable part is saving someone’s life and have them thank you. The people at Sinai Grace will always be my family, whether it is my direct co-workers or the Housekeepers, Transporters, and Dietary staff, everyone said hello and had compassion for each other. – less

It just seemed most co-workers had it out for people that wanted to better their skills and values.

The patients were a joy to serve, they always made my workday very enjoyable. The physical therapists were great to interact with as well as most departments such as transport. A typical day at work involved hitting the floor running. There were multiple tasks to complete. Teams were excellent, for everyone pitched in to get out tasks completed. Most – more... managers were stressed and unapproachable (despite saying they had an open door policy). The hardest part of the job was to work with my immediate manager was racist and seemed to have an issue with my refusal to feel the way she did. I am a people person and it does not matter if a person is red, yellow, brown, white, or black. People are people.

The president of the hospital was very much into making the facility a wonderful place to be (despite employees trying to undermine his efforts), vice-presidents were very approachable and listened to my concerns and did all they could to make the workplace more enjoyable. I learned that your workday is what you make it...so I chose to make my days a happy day! – less

I really like working for DMC. I learned a lot from working in the ER as well as working with the patients. The co-workers and all staff are supportive and helpful.
