Saint Joseph Mercy Health System Employer Reviews

I enjoyed my job when I was there, left because it moved further away, came back and had the absolute worst trainer, and boss ever!!!!! It`s sad because people like that make it hard for you to even enjoy your work.

Co workers are friendly and very helpful. Management very helpful and attentive to needs. I work in the ED and I love it here. Benefits are pretty decent and pay is very reasonable. Equipment is good and repairs get done quickly. I would recommend this company to anyone.

Overall a good company to work for. They are very flexible and work well with adapting schedules around personal and educational commitments.

I completely agree with review above titled "I felt like I was in nursing school again- awful". The management was awful and the turnover of nurses is constant. I was there for under 2 years and was there longer than most nurses. I loved Homecare but working for the management at SJM HOMECARE to be unbearable and the demands placed on us could not be – more... met unless I spent absolutely all Waking hours working- I neglected my husband and young son and that is the reason I ultimately left. – less

Despite the advice of friends who had worked previously for St. Joseph home care I took a job in their home care branch. I have two decades experience in the position I hired for and felt that I could handle the "difficult management." I was so, so wrong! Within eight weeks all the RNs I attended orientation with had left. Orientation was horrible-no – more... real schedule or evaluation forms, constant change including a call after 10pm the night prior to a class regarding change of site to another building more than an hour drive from the original site of orientation. The educator was constantly late as well but beware if you are late! Their laptops are more than 10 years old and require constant attention and repairs. And despite the need to drive several hours a day to patients homes and to the office we were required to immediately bring in the computers for repairs if needed. At the same time we were expected to have all documentation done immediately and transferred to the office three times per day. I was actually chastised for not doing this despite the fact that my computer never ran correctly and I was in the computer office DAILY. The documentation for a regular visit required as much information as an admit! Documentation is expected to be in full sentences all words spelled out like a novel. A regular note took me a minimum of 45 minutes. All notes had to be proof read by a manager with the writer present (in addition to doing visits and driving more than 100 miles daily) . Almost all staff were new or preparing to leave. This is not the home care I am used to. Expectations are way out of line regarding what is reasonable and there is NO way that anyone can meet them. I actually saw/ heard several employees lie outright to cover up the fact that they could not handle their work load thus making other staff look bad. Some of the management staff are rude and demeaning towards new staff. I felt like I was in nursing school again, an experience that I would not ever care to repeat! Would not recommend this workplace for anyone. – less

I would arrive at work depending on my scheduled time and begin taking over for the previous shift. My co-workers and myself would spend the day taking care of our patients with care and respect letting them know we truly cared and they appreciated it. We did this most of the time with no management available. I learned many things while working at – more... SJMHS, some good, some not so good. What really counts though is that I went to work everyday I was scheduled and did the best job I was capable of doing for the company I worked for. I went above and beyond for my patients. The hardest part of my job was dealing with the politics of hospital business and the best part was the patients. – less

By far the best project that I have done so far. Our team, composed of 5 students, had the task to provide a solution to the work flow, inventory placement that St. Joseph presented to us.

This project is done as the last course you take before graduating as an undergraduate and it was a very rewarding experience as we were able to work together with – more... a company that values its customers and employees.

We accomplished our goal of creating a new layout for their distribution center that will reduce the time and distance traveled when order picking the different items around the DC. We also designed a new labeling scheme to identify the items. – less
