Spectrum Health Employer Reviews

Administration? An absolute joke. The HR Dept is a bunch of arrogant, incompetent morons. You are and will always be an at-will employee. If you work for this company and leave, they will black ball you forever. The company is only out to make money for the Dutch Christian Reformed so if that's NOT your nationality or religion, good bye. Will never – more...  work for this company again if it's the last place on Earth. – less

Spectrum is a great place to work, they pay their employees well, and offer great benefits.

Depending on the position your assigned for the day, you carry out tasks while working as a team. Sometimes switches are made and on multiple occasions you are placed in a position you have never been trained for.

Administration does NOT care about their employees. They care more about what people think. Over the years I have heard supervisors, including the state director himself talk about employees, and not good things. They call themselves a Human Services organization, however they care more about the almighty dollar than they do about their staff, and clients.

This is a temporary placement agency. They kept me pretty busy and I worked in some good places.

Good, friendly environment
Learned a lot about the buisness

Productive and fun workplace. Employee relationship was a plus. Co workers build a good relationship with each other and got along well. Hardest part was being called any hour of the night. the most enjoyable was seeing clients not relapse on drugs or alcohol.

this is a great place to work, the people are very friendly, its job security for me and my family, i enjoy speaking with patients on a daily basis. i speak to over 60 patients a day on the phone, i love working at spectrum health!

Ienjoyed working with my co-workers. Thrived in a team atmosphere.

I enjoy working for Spectrum Health Care mostly because I have great clientele. I am looking for a more stable position and opportunity for advancement.

Receiving reports from previous shift. Coordinating with nursing assistants as to basic patient care and priorities. Dispensing medications, assessing and starting intravenous access and therapies, wound care, and starting blood infusions when ordered. Communicating with Care Management, Physical Therapy, and medical staff to ensure excellent patient – more...  care and discharge outcomes. Documenting all nursing care and communications. Spending as much time talking with patients to aleve fears and define needs to provide an excellent plan of care. My co-workers were the best. Sharing knowledge and offering assistance was always there.
It was difficult to see how trauma can not only affect the patient but also the families. Sometimes there are so many problems and I can't solve them all. That is where teamwork with other specialities helps out, so at discharge we have done all we can and then trust that their ongoing needs will be monitored after discharge.
I loved working with patients and their families. To be their advocate and get them in touch with the staff that could answer the questions that I couldn't. A big hug and a warm thank you at discharge is the best reward and best motivator to start all over again with another patient. – less

Draw blood from patients for analysis ranging from babies to geriatrics.Collect and process specimens and sedede to the Lab.

Culture is pretty healthy. Overall it is a good place to work.

I worked for them for nine months officed worked providing Outpt services closed . I found out after the office closed that adminstration knew they were closing the office in less than a year. This agency cares more about what is said about them than what is actually done to help the individauls served. Never mind that in the Criminal Justice side it's – more...  whatever the DOC wants. Couldn't keep those employees straight when I worked for another agency within the DOC. – less

Unfortunately, they are growing at an unprecented rate and don't staff for expansion. The employees are overworked and stressed to the max. Their turnover rate is 50%. Revenue seems to takes precedence over the employees well-being. It amazed me how poorly they are organized. As one staff member told me early on "They are trying to build an airplane – more...  in mid-air". Really? Glad I was able to parachute out! – less
