MultiCare Health System Employer Reviews

Multicare is an excellent company to work for. I am always learning new things on the floor, I have learned how to perform CPR and take care of peticular patients needs. Management tries to problem solve. My hardest part of the job is learning how to figure out what my nurses expect of me. I enjoy the patient care and new challenges.

MHS is a very large hospital system throughout the Puget Sound Area. It has made great strides in improving the outcomes of healthcare services to an expansive community. MHS offers a wide array of healthcare and health related services with exceptional service.

Some of the staff are fun to work with, but the gossip and back stabbing is out of control. My experience with the managers have been that they allow and encourage staff member's bad behavior to continue.. The managers that I have experience with have led with punitive styles. After working as hard and fast as you possibly can, the pressure to do more – more... is almost intolerable as well as unsafe. I have experienced public humiliation by a manager. I have always enjoyed my work, but never in over 30 years worked in such an awful place and am thinking about getting out of nursing completely. The management is currently in negotiations with the union and MB management is trying to take away our disability insurance, taking away benefits if one works less than a .7 FTE or have the ability to change health benefits with a 3 month warning, instead of every year. Bad deal! – less

I enjoyed working with the team. I felt confident about coming to work.

Lots of politics. Stressful environment. Disorganization and inconsistency between managers, as well as with management styles. Employee self-evaluations in annual reviews are edited by some managers to reflect what they want stated. Increasingly fewer staff and increasing productivity and job requirements, with less supports to accomplish this. Cronyism – more... is rampant. Frequent changes in department managers. – less

I have worked for Multicare Health System for 6+ years. I began in food service and am now working in the operating room. The most enjoyable part of working for Multicare is the many opportunities for advancement. Multicare likes to promote within the company and offers tuition reimbursement for those looking to further their education. Amongst tuition – more... reimbursment Multicare also offers education within the company. I was able to take advantage of a health unit coordinator course offered to employees, free of charge. – less

They do tend to forget to be inclusive of the employees on the ground, working toward the their company goals. I think the ideas are ambitious and I think they are doing a great job but, its sometimes hard to keep up with all the organization wants (quality patient care ect...) in addition to implementing the company line.
That being said, I would never – more... take my care or my families care to anyplace other than MultiCare. Even as a laid off employee, I do think the best of the best are employed there. – less

They are one of the better hospitals because they staff well and support their employees well.

positive communiation between employer and employees
work quickly and fairly to resolve issues
most enjoyable part of the job was making a difference in the lives of our patients

Having worked for Multicare, shy of 16 years, I can say the doctors there are dedicated to their field of practice.

A typical day at work would include a phone call at home around 0630 to let me know which clinic I would be filling in at that day. I would arrive there as soon as I could, introduce myself to the doctor I would be working with that day, if we had not yet worked together before, and begin to room patients. Throughout the day, I would do any procedures – more... requested of me, refill prescriptions, and return phone calls. At the end of the day I would clean up the exam rooms and leave any notes needed to pass on information to the regular medical assistant when he or she returns. – less
