I've been with Sparrow for years and worked in a few different areas and have found the management consistently is inexperienced/not best for the management role. The behavioral health, namely SAU, is horrendous. Managers are immature and inconsistent, they pick and choose favorites and you'd better hope you're one, or they'll look for any reason to – more... write you up. They have a high turnover rate with no one wanting to fill the day position due to one RN in particular that has chased off at least ten techs with her demeaning attitude. The motto is "everyone loves Sparrow nurses" yeah, unless you work as a PCT, because then you'll be treated like a slave, busting your back while the RN's sit at the nurse's station gossiping and playing on their phones, giving you grief or avoiding you altogether if you ask for assistance with anything. So yeah, Sparrow is a "great" place to work, you'd just better hope you're being hired on as a RN or higher or else you're seen as disposable, no one takes you seriously, and you get treated like dirt. – less

inpt coding- it was a flexible place to work in regards to time in and out .. the co-workers were mostly nice.. there were some management issues but upper mgt was good..

Work with many different people. Great hospitalist team. Rapid response team a great plus.

Busy office, lots of nurses, physicians, and office staff in our working space. Management was great, everyone was a team.

Sparrow did a superb job of preparing its in-house project teams and had the wisdom to understand the value add that consultants bring to a project based on their multiple, prior experiences. This allowed for decision making based more on real-world information and less reliance on supposition. A great place to have worked.

I provide safety/security operations for the hospital. As a security officer, I spend my shifts patrolling the interior and exterior of the properties, looking for access control issues. I also respond to calls for assistance with combative patients/unwanted visitors. I have learned many skills with defensive tactics, de-escalation techniques, and the – more... ability to deal with stressful situations. My co-workers are great and we all work together well as a team. I have a great management staff who provide our department with wonderful leadership skills. The hardest part of the job is dealing with out-dated equipment. The most enjoyable part of the job is the challenge of coming to work every day, and never knowing what to expect. Each day is different than any other. – less

Sparrow was a wonderful employer. I was able to broaden my experiences by working in different departments. I was able to come in contact with my intelligent physicians, nurses and other staff. It was a pleasure to be a part of the Sparrow team.
