A fast paced environment
Office Manager (Former Employee), Orlando, FL – May 8, 2013
Pros: lots of free food from vendors
Cons: on call 24 hours a day and running to solve one problem to the next
Running 3 offices required a lot of traveling and phone time. I spent a lot of time working wooth employees to improve their understanding and compasion when dealing with patients. My co-workers were very caring loving people who strived to make the patients feel comfortable. Keeping up with all the requirements of the billing for Medi-Care was challenging – more... but accomplished. I enjoyed the interaction with the patients most of all – less

Productive and benefits were good.
Dental Specialist (Former Employee), Cleveland, OH – February 18, 2013
Pros: great benefits
Cons: you hardly ever got to take your 15 minute break because it was so busy.
It was a very fast paced environment where you definitely have to multi-task. I learned the Epic Software program. The management had some leadership problems, but I met some very nice co-workers. The hardest part of the job was when I was by myself for 30 minutes in the morning and I had to answer multiple phone lines and check in 15 patients at the – more... front window. – less

Best place in the world
Patient Care Technician (Former Employee), Wyoming, MI – January 23, 2013
Pros: team work, atmosphere, the whole facility!
Metro is awesome. I worked in the ICU for 3 1/2 years with some of the best people ever, even the physicians. They are a learning hospital so they are always happy to engage employees in different experiences. The management and co-workers are fantastic. If your having problems with anything, work related or personal they are always willing to help – more... instead of judging you. The compensation and benefits are great and less expensive compared to other businesses. – less

Great Learning Environment
Pharmacy Technician (Current Employee), Wyoming, MI – January 7, 2013
As a medication reconciliation technician, I am in charge of collecting prior to admission medications from patients within the hospital. I am in a leadership position where I have to make clinical and ethical decisions based on patient information. I have to make sure that the medications are entered into the computer system accurately to help prevent – more... medication errors. I also take part in various projects that include updating and writing policies for the pharmacy department. As well as update the training program for the pharmacy department that I helped create and initiate in 2010. My director of pharmacy is very helpful in making sure that I learn all that I can and grow into my role and goals that I aiming for. My coworkers are very helpful, we all work as a team and make sure that know one is left behind. It is very hard to make sure that the communication line is open and understandable. I have to create an environment for our patients that allows them to feel comfortable to speak with me about their medications and why they take them. The most enjoyable part of the position is communicating with attendants and residents about patient medications and helping them create a complete profile of prior to admission medications to help make sure that the hospitals patients stay safe while they stay at the hospital. – less

Good place to work but the management should be replaced
PCT (Former Employee), Wyoming, Mi – November 28, 2012
Pros: nice building
Cons: mangement
They seriously need to look at the overall management, they also need to learn how to have the kahunas to reprimand an employee no matter their race... equality is something that should be looked at.

Internship
Recreation Therapist Student (Former Employee), Cleveland, OH – November 26, 2012
Pros: easy going environment, stress free
Cons: limited time with patients, seperate floors between rehab and recreation therapy
This was a student internship where each day I would go to the tramatic brain injury rehab unit to offer patients activities and carry out assessments for any new admission to the unit. Also, we would collaborate with the other practices to provide the best care for the patients. I learned how all the practices have to work together for the patient – more... to receive complete care. My co-workers were a team. The hardest part was getting people involved and showing them the benefit of Recreation Therapy. The most enjoyable part was the 1:1 time you provide for the patient on a level outside of the other disciplines. Sometimes it is what someone needs. – less

great place to work until they run into financial trouble
Self Pay Coordinator, Financial Services (Former Employee), Wyoming, MI – November 6, 2012
Pros: great affordable health benefits, pto and vacation time
Cons: salaried employees are never ever done with their workload
excellent benefits, but they have a history of laying off non clinical employees when they have financial difficulties -- I worked in collections of past due accounts and also took customer service calls and they found it more economical to just send accounts to a collection agency rather than have the necessary volume of employees to handle past due – more... accounts, give them the tools to locate individuals through Accurint or TLO (which are excellent skiptracing tools). I think the financial management needs a wake up call to bring them in to the current century. I have done collections since 1979 so I believe I have enough experience to make such a call. – less

DON"T WORK FOR THEM!
Ultrasound Technologist (Former Employee), Metro Health Hospital – August 12, 2012
Pros: co-workers
Cons: management
Imaging dept had very low morale, got worse the longer I was there. In the eleven years I worked there they went from a great place to work, to a place I would never go back to.
Management doesn't understand why morale is so bad, and everyone fears them. If you speak up about anything, or needing help you are not a team player.They have blacklisted – more... employees that have worked there for years and given almost everything. It's all about the bottom line, and they don't get it when the employees that work their heart out get burned.
My co-workers that worked were great, but there were some that management didn't realize didn't work, and yet they still had jobs because everyone was affraid to say anything for fear they would be targets as someone with a bad attitude. – less

AnnaLee – August 24, 2012

I want to thank you for posting the comment that you did. What amazes me is that this hospital is posting a job that is "un-paid". My mother had been a forced laborer (WWII, Poland). She used to say to me, "No one works for free." Clearly this horribly run hospital is nothing shy of a forced labor camp with a bunch of pathetic leaders that feel fear is the way to go. So, so sad, and no matter how bad one needs job, this environment would not be worth it. This is just another black eye on women and how abusive they are towards other women.

– October 11, 2012

To the comment about unpaid labor, welcome to the real world. Unpaid labor, also called an INTERNSHIP is common practice in the year 2012. Its called paying your dues and learning the tools you need to work in a real job.

Brandonito – January 14, 2013

Unfortunately it has become a trend for companies to use interships as free labor. I went to school and paid plenty of dues.

It was a busy environment and fun overall.
Volunteer (Former Employee), Cleveland, OH – July 15, 2012
There were so many different personalities that made the work day fun. I got pleasure out of helping others at no cost. I learned a little about the medical field and certain symbols. I also had to remember what patients received what.

Administrative Assistant (Current Employee), Cleveland, OH – June 5, 2012
Pros: good benifits
Cons: punch clock system
There is a lot of hardworking individuals and the work can be very rewarding. I do not view my job as being hard. The most enjoyable part of my job is the climate in which I work.
