Work hard, play hard!
Senior Process Engineer (Former Employee), Grand Rapids, MI – May 29, 2013
Pros: free coffee and tea!
Cons: snow
Great place to work all the way around. They support work life balance and healthy life styles by working with you no matter what the personal situation you have in life. Yoga, Zumba classes and massages at work. The company is plans ahead and has a great strategy going foward. I saw plenty of room for advancement if you proved yourself and did a good – more... job. Conferencing and working from remote locations based on need is promoted. The company is very forward thinking. Great compensation package! – less

Management/Spectrum in General
LPN (Former Employee), Fuller Campus – May 15, 2013
Pros: it paid me
Cons: terrible place to work, everybody are backstabbers
Spectrum treats their employees like gum on the bottom of a shoe. They constantly make you work short. When I told the house supervisor that she was putting my license at risk by making me work short, her response was, "Well, that's your choice." It was my choice that I did not walk off the job and abandon my patients, which is why I left. We were never – more... out on time. We were always there 2 hours past our shift. If they don't like you or think you may be a liability (i.e. I am a T1 diabetic and had a bad low one day, and after that, after a perfect record, here come the write ups for non-legit stuff, like not giving a patient their med, even though it was NOT in pyxis and pharmacy didn't get it there until the next shift. Can't give what I don't have, but yet, I was written up for it!) Stay far away from Spectrum. They have a high turn over rate, and it is no wonder that they do!!!! – less

jazen – May 19, 2013

I agree 100 % I worked for spectrum health urgent care for several years and became very ill, my manager was uncaring and unwilling to work with me then proceeded to tell me "well there are many people who would do your job!" way to make people feel. Spectrum "talks the talk" but does not walk the walk!!! be careful what you say because it will get twisted around and come back to bite you in the backside.

Terrible
nursing assistant (Former Employee), grand rapids,mi – April 24, 2013
Watch your back . If management doesn't like you then you will become a target, and they will get rid of you. A lot of favoritism and racism well count against you.

Hospital
Nutrition Technician (Former Employee), Grand Rapids, MI – March 20, 2013
I absolutely loved working for Spectrum Health. The position I held gave me several job duties and tasks that were different each and everyday. So everyday I came to work I was doing something that wasn't the same from the other. I enjoyed the wide range of opportunities.

Outstanding Chemical Dependency Program Manager!!
Assessment Chemical Dependency Professional (Former Employee), Everett, Mount Vernon, and Monroe, WA. – February 20, 2013
Pros: excellent salary for an entry level position!
Cons: health and welfare benefits were not available until after 90 days.
(1) There was really very little that I would describe as "a typical day
at work." Although we were required to follow several daily SOP's
(for our own personal safety), no two days were exactly the same.
(2) The most important lesson that I learned from working with
Spectrum is to never be afraid to ask for help when your life is
starting to become – more... completely unmanageable, and these
mitigating circumstances place your career in jeapordy!
(3) I was not part of the management team.
(4) My co-workers were a highly professional group of CDP's.
(5) The hardest part of my job was ME!!
(6) The most enjoyable part of my job was serving as a
co-facilitator during our group therapy sessions! – less
