Parkland Health & Hospital System Employer Reviews

I enjoyed the challenges to provide healthcare to and underserved population. Also the committment to furthering education was excellent. The team work of attending physicians, my collegues and nursing was unsurpassed. Very supportive enviroment committed to the community.

I have been employed by Parkland on two separate occasions. I found the work rewarding and the management style comfortable

I have been at Parkland for awhile now. I have learned to love my job and the patients I get to help. I really care about our patient population and only want the best for them.

typical day is fun at parkland. lots of team work. learned many advanced nursing skills, mangment is awesome, coworkers are awesome, hardest part is when people call in from work, best part is the people and patients

Typical day at work consist of not trying to upset any of your co-workers or management. Everyone is taught to tell on your co-workers for any reason, even if its minor or petty. Hardest part of the job is to walk on egg shells, because someone might be having a bad day and decide that they dont like you very much

Management is very unprofessional especially in the Business Office. Management has no clue how to run an operation this is the reason why they hire outside Third Party Vendors to pick the slack on collections. Then all the Director does is writes-off MILLIONS of dollars that could have been recovered but since they think they know what they are doing – more... they keep all the bad debt accounts and wait towards the end of each quarter to report it as a lost. Tax Dollars Wasted on Stupidity and ARROGRANCE from Managers and all the way up. I guess its okay that no one looks into this because its a county Hospital. NO TAC! NO TRUE Leadership! Also other employees that have be here for years treat people (RUDE) no real customer service its simply Terrible. If you apply and get hired. Welcome Aboard! YOU WILL BE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER JOB! – less

great place to work, always learning new information
great team players

In my department the Management was horrible. When you have a manager that has a attitude and trys to find any reason at all to get on to you that is not profetional. After my 6 years of service I was let go for being $60 over in my collections, but the actual problem was just a computer error that management did not want to investigate. The error had – more... occured with other employees on a smaller number of overage but with me it was not excuseable. – less

Very busy place to work. I actually enjoyed my job. If you work here, look out for yourself, they only care that someone is there to help them out. They do not treat their employees by their own guiding principles!

Although some days maybe stressful, it was always good to know that your work was not in vain. It is a place to learn, to teach, to ameliorate, to bond and most importantly a place to heal.

Parkland is a great company to work for. This company has an interest in their employees

The staff is great! You learn a lot working here, you get to meet people of all walks of life and I love that about this job.

fast paced
bad management
workload is heavy-the way they do it,makes it cmplicated and time consuming.
some of the co wokers are nice

Nursing staff usually works well together but there is distrust and lack of respect between management and staff. The supposed new culture is a joke. Management talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. Nothing is going to change until all of the old guard managers from top to bottom are replaced.

I thought working for Parkland would be "prestegious"...yeah, not so much. The pay was HORRID! The hours were ok, but otherwise, I had to drive an hour to work, and an hour home, and I finally got to a point where the pay, compared to the amount of driving, just didn't work.

lack of team atmosphere
difficult people to work with
HR division folks are fun but team is not
Good leadership at high level, senior management not focused
Excellent tasks, organization in state of flux makes this very challenging

This is by far the most fast paced job I have ever had. Their concern seems to be numbers and not quality of care.

Steady pace days ordering supplies, keeping spreadsheets updated.
I have learned how to order supplies, what the supplies/instruments is utilized for in the cases/surgery.
I think certain management styles could have been better.
My co-workers were really good to work with in all the areas.
The hardest thing, but not really is just making sure all the – more... supplies is here in a timely manner.
The most enjoyable part of the job, just the realm of different people/patients here in this area. Learning about the different type of instruments used in procedures. – less

This was a great place to work and the low level staff members were very easy to work with. However, when a physician, with high patient numbers, started being disrespectful and made racial and physical comments about the staff and the patients, management failed to seek a resolution to the problems experienced and really acted as though the problems – more... would merely disappear. – less

It's hard work, and little time for breaks, but this is the most rewarding place I have ever worked. Nurses care for the most ill, the most injured, and the neediest of people, and for the most part, are greatly appreciated by the patient population. I will never forget taking care of a dying young woman, an immigrant from Mexico who spoke no english. – more... She passed away shortly after being transferred to the floor, and her husband came to see me. In his halting english, he hugged me, crying, and said, "thank you for loving my wife". That is Parkland. – less
