busy place and fun

It was difficult to work the night shift. Work sometimes felt overwhelming because they were short staffed. Overall, great learning experience.

Very bad place to work
IS (Former Employee), IS – March 13, 2013
Cons: very bad benefits, long hours
I learned that management is clueless and that the organization really does not care about it's employees. The benefits are almost non-existent as any increase in job salary when switching jobs will be the same amount you lose in paying for your benefits. All the people you work with are "lifers" that complain about all the negative things the organization – more... is doing but will do nothing to change it. Not to mention that they expect you to be a workaholic much like they are. This place is not someplace I would work for again and was lucky to have gotten out. – less

BEWARE!
RPSGT/RST (Former Employee), EEG/SLEEP LAB – March 12, 2013
Pros: you have a job.
Cons: above and a lot more.
Unethical standards of working/patient care. It was required to do patient's with head lice in our sleep lab; After the one room would be quarantined for a few days then bring another patient back in there. The bathrooms are outside of the patient's rooms and there is carpet. The patient walks out of room dropping lice on the carpeted floor putting – more... both patient's and techs at risk. They say they take pride in doing all the patient's that others will not do, boy that's the truth I wouldn't call it pride; In most cases, I would call it stupidity. Shouldn't patient/tech safety be #1 before the almighty $$$. This facility has a revolving door. In this dept the average employee stay is 1-2 yrs with a few no call no shows, it's on record! you would think upper managment would see this by now. The demands are such that patient's are at risk, the techs are beat to death and it shows. Supply's are provided however in the sleep lab "limited" at one point myself and another tech pulled together and purchased out of our own pocket $180.00 worth of supply's desperately needed after multiple request. The sleep lab is located off campus and it was required that we leave our patient's with the other tech and drive in our vehicles to the hospital for supplys and delivering sleep study reports, as well as bring back 5gal jug water bottles for patient's water. Usually house keeping is provided but not here. You are responsible for ALL before leaving the building and after cleanup of the paraplegic that includes changing diapers, caregivers are not required to accompany their patient's and 99% do not. If you are LUCKY! you will have days off in a row, but it is made VERY CLEAR after hire, you will work when ever, however, and any way you are told are needed. The outcome, inevitably burnout!! Again, patient/tech safety at risk. This is only a very small part of the full scale. You, like others will say. "What the hell have I gotten into". and or "This lab is generic". Good luck! – less

Suzy12345 – April 30, 2013

Just from the staff turnover alone tells me this is a terrible place to work. No or few consecutive days off? That's incredible especially for night shift work. This all points to a clueless or control freak for a lab manager. There needs to be a blacklist of sleep labs to avoid when applying. Unfortunately the state of Az. is known for an oversupply of sleep techs. It's maddening that a department that contributes so much to the hospital's bottom line is treated so poorly. Sadly though you're not alone in those working conditions. The AASM simply does not care.

Not a good place to work
Mammography Technologist (Former Employee), Tucson, AZ – February 11, 2013
Cons: no breaks. bad management.
I was full time but never had full time hours. I was treated as per diem, with hours going to favored staff mammographers, including per diem mammographers. Any advancements went to a per diem employee which included many out of state seminars that were paid for by TMC. The seminars were also available to favored staff members, but never to me. There – more... were many more reasons that I left TMC employment, however, the fact that I was denied a exit interview by management, I think says it all.
I also want to say that the supervisor treated other employees with disdain who were not her friends. Upper management allowed this behavior to go on the length of my employment in the breast department. When people would complain it was ignored for the most part. – less

Non caring admin, but GREAT doctors!
Staff RN (Former Employee), Tucson Az – January 12, 2013
Cons: no breaks, no lunches, high turnover and never leaving on time!
Management is absolutely abysmal! Compensation? Well let me just say I had money taken from my salary after I'd been told by my manager that that was a "no-no". I worked there for 22 years and in the last 5-7 years, admin has turned against their nurses.. NO ONE defends them. I was (ater 22 years)demoted,demoralized,devalued, and eventually resigned – more... after trumped up persecution by a manager (of a different unit) who wanted me out and convinced the directors that I should go. I left because I was afraid they'd make a false charge against me to the nursing board, because notheing else that had happened had caused me to resign. No, I'm NOT disgruntled, just sad that the once sterling leader of Tucson hospitals has gone so downhill. I was a patient there recently, and spent time in ICU due to their nurses lack of knowledge. If you are a new grad, go there, because they'll love you. But if you are an older nurse, pass them by. I DID love doing my patient care, and the physicians are great in some areas. But they want your whole life, and in some areas, community volunteering is essential for a "meets expectations' on your yearly eval. They would improve with a new admin (at least MIDDLE admin). Nt sure the upper ups even know what's going on! – less

Progressive healthcare institution
Clinical Staff, Charge Nurse (Former Employee), Tucson, AZ – September 16, 2012
Pros: support from staff, comradeship with professional staff to give good care.
Cons: change of management
I worked at TMC for almost 30 years, so there must have been something right with it. I thoroughly enjoyed working with the Doctors and nurses there, It was family. Giving fabulous care to my patients was always my primary focus. Time for a change now.

Good company to work for
Customer Service Coordinator (Former Employee), Tucson, AZ – August 20, 2012
Pros: excellent employees, family like atmosphere, good benefits, bosses who care
I was unfortunately laid off 2 months after I started but had many of my superiors find a loophole to get me back as contract labor which I continued for 16 more months. Many of the employees have worked there for 10, 20, 30+ years which I always see as a good sign. Managers and supervisors were always there for you and there was a sense of family among – more... employees that extended outside of work. My job was eventually outsourced and the new company made a terrible offer that I refused. I don't blame TMC for the way things played out as it was simply a sign of the times (2007-2008) and would highly recommend this company to anyone. – less

Patient Care Technician (Current Employee), Tucson, AZ – July 28, 2012

Unfortunately a mismanaged, non compliant laboratory
Clinical Laboratory Technologist (Former Employee), Tucson Medical Center, Tucson, AZ – July 5, 2012
Pros: are none
Cons: no breaks, no lunch/dinner, total chaos
Responsible for all areas of clinical pathology, evening shift with a very busy ER. The really good Med Tech's have all resigned and moved to other laboratories. Hardest part of the job is seeing patient's test results delayed or inaccurate due to poor management and ancient laboratory equipment

DISrespected – August 18, 2012

No interview. No respect. Then IF they get back to you at all they state in thier form letter "...after careful consideration..." Really?!? So careful they couldn't spend five to ten minuts to find out what the person behind the application is about. BS
