SRC Representative
Telecommunications Operator (Former Employee), Columbia, SC – May 17, 2013
Working in the Service Response Center was fun and easy, you basically take calls all day putting in work orders for environmental services, engineers, food orders, etc. The job was great until Angela became our supervisor. She micro-managed and she had no people skills. She was determined to replace the 3 girls that were there from the moment she entered – more... our department. If she is still the supervisor please beware. She will do things behind your back to get you in trouble. Don't ever think she's your friend because she is not, she's malicious. – less

Nice place to work and get experience in mental health
Mental Health Tech (Former Employee), Charleston, SC – May 2, 2013
Pros: worked with a great set of co-workers on night shift
Cons: after a while you can get burned out, because of the high revolving door, and making up for shortages.
It was a pleasant place to work. At night outside of monitoring the clients, we completed a lot of paperworks as well as filed them.

Enjoyable work enviroment, with room for growth.
Radiology Assistant/Patient Flow Coordinator (Former Employee), Columbia, SC – April 17, 2013
Pros: surrounded by wonderful people making the job pleasurable.
Cons: short breaks
Front desk duties, along with preparing patients and directing the mammography staff of their duties. I learned how well I worked under pressure, along with multi-tasking. I thoroughly enjoyed the management and my co-workers. The hardest part was the demand without breaks, but it also helped in making the day go by faster with the sense of completion.

Great teaching enviornment to work and excel.
Patient Support Tech/Unit Secretary (Current Employee), Columbia, SC – March 31, 2013
Pros: rewards from patients' family members and management staff for our hard work and giving great care.
Cons: i would have to say the 12hr shifts are very long and hard sometimes.
This company is a great place to work. A typical day at work is very busy and intresting. I work in the Intensive Care Unit, therefore everyday I learn something new and see something extraordinary. The management team is great and easy to work with. My co-workers are great team players. We work together to stay in complience and bring our company's – more... vision to life. The hardest part of my job is getting attached to very sick patients and then sometimes losing them. The most enjoyable part of my job is seeing very sick patients nursed back to normal or as normal as they can get. Overall my job is awesome! – less

Loved working here.
Pharmacy Technician III (Former Employee), Columbia, SC – March 2, 2013
Pros: very competitive pay, good benefits, great environment.
Cons: inconsistent work shift schedules
I worked in the Pharmacy & loved it. I left for family reasons & wish I never had. There were bad days & good, but it's a real family environment with your coworkers. Schedules are not as consistent with shifts which could be a little difficult with young children, but you get your schedule a month at a time which is definitely a plus! Absolutely loved – more... this place! – less

Low compensation, poor working conditions.
Nurse (Former Employee), Columbia, SC – February 18, 2013
Pros: the floor staff i worked with were excellent. despite being constantly short staffed, under equipped, and ignored by management they always looked out for each other and their patients.
Cons: short staffed, poor management, no support from management, culture of the hospital changing for the worst.
My floor may have been a fluke, but it was a miserable experience. We were routinely short nurses and techs. Our floor had 30+ patients and better than half of those were total care patients. The average patient load for techs ranged from 10 to 15 on a good day. On a bad day we had NO techs. Employee retention was horrible. There is an immense communication – more... gap between management and floor staff. No one ever expected support or intervention from management. I have never actually hated a job until this experience. On the bright side it was a learning experience. – less

Respiratory Care Department
Respiratory Therapist II (Former Employee), Columbia SC – February 3, 2013
Pros: exciting for the "thrill seeker"
Cons: if you want to feel rewarded for a job well done, keep looking elsewhere.
I worked for Palmetto Health for 7 yrs. I very much enjoyed my work for many of those years until the entire organization shifted from caring for the patients to caring about the numbers that made the hospital look as though the patients were being cared for. Management in the Respiratory care Department enjoy sitting behind their desk while the RT's – more... are responsible for attending to 6-10 vent pts, bronch's, ABG's and all other related issues. However, if you enjoy receiving constant audits this is the place for you. Sign up today they have at least 4 auditors looking at you all the time instead of them getting off their behinds and making sure the patients have a therapist who is not so stretched their is no way to take care of the needs they have. You never have to worry about the seeing the management after 4 or so, you cant count on not seeing them put a foot in the patients room unless a flexport cable was not charted and that would be only to help construct a massive email about how patient safety is sooooo important " as long as they don't really have to touch a patient." Get new management including the Director and I would love to join them team again. Loved all the other staff..... EVS, RN's, MD's, NP's. could not ask for a more fun crew. OH!!! almost forgot the pay is the lowest in the mid state region and don't count on a raise they spend way to much on "renovations" to take care of the budget. However the mandatory meeting that ALL employees have to attend twice a year is better since the revamp of the auditorium. Money real well spent, let me tell you !! – less

Love the place
Certified Surgical Technologist II (Current Employee), Columbia, SC – December 23, 2012
Pros: the people, cool cases, good mix of cases (if you want that), free parking
Cons: can be hard to get time off, hard to find parks, not in the best area of town, the food is terrible, short lunch breaks, pay is low (at the national low end for all positions)
I like working there. It is a great atmosphere. Sometimes, getting along with all of the personalities can be a problem, but overall the people are helpful. Some of the people that have been there for years can be a little rough on the edges, but they are good.

Great place,but management sucks!!!!
Environmental Services (Former Employee), Columbia, SC – November 3, 2012
Pros: getting to meet wonderful ppl
Cons: management, and very high on favoritism
Palmetto health hospital is a great place to work, but it has it ups and downs. Management is sucks, they never have your back meaning if someone blamed you for something they will believe what that person over their own employees without even checking into it to see if its true or not. The favoritism is very bad, once they have someone they like alot – more... that person does nothing nor get into trouble. If management doesn't like you your work life will be uncomfortable and stressful – less
