PCT (Patient Care Technician) (Current Employee) – Kansas City, MO – October 5, 2018

Not a good place to work
Maint mech 2 (Former Employee) – Kansas City, MO – October 3, 2018
They don’t care about their employees, it’s is all about the money. Place is in poor shape and they don’t want to spend any money to fix it out. Would not recommend it to anyone
Maybe a good stepping stone, but that's it.
Security Manager (Former Employee) – Independence, MO – September 29, 2018
Started with health Midwest and stayed with HCA after the buy-out. Worked in total for the company for 16 years.
Senior Leadership rarely comes out of their offices and doesn't know your name without looking at your badge first, especially if your not in the "group." A lot of cut throat dog eat dog games played within this organization and if you're not a nurse, you don't matter. Turnover during my employment was at a company wide high which resulted in senior leadership being called to Nashville for a hand slap. This facility also has a difficult time meeting budget which also recently resulted in senior leadership being called back to Nashville for a hand slap, and the CEO resigning from CTMC in May.
Contrary to senior leadership postings and quotes, anyone less than a nurse does not have a voice and is fully expendable as they made clear numerous time during my employment. Anyone who was close to retirement usually had their position eliminated prior to retirement so the company could save money.
Benefits were atrocious as well. Annual raises were never more than 2% when we received them, but we were always told we were in the middle of the fair market for pay and benefits.
Like I said, good stepping stone, but I wouldn't plan on staying around to long!

Business Office Specialist (Former Employee) – Overland Park, KS – September 16, 2018
From front office staff to nurses and doctors everyone was professional and compassionate. Excellent reviews from patients. We got free lunches on Fridays, birthday cakes once a month and movie tickets when we went above and beyond the call of duty.
Pros
Free lunches, movie tickets, laundered uniforms
Cons
Hiring process takes for ever
Menorah was a great place to work
Registered Nurse (Former Employee) – Overland Park, KS – September 15, 2018
Even though I had to take a position closer to my parents home and leave menorah do to their illnesses I enjoyed my short year employment there in the Family Birth Center.
Pros
Great pay
Cons
Located in Big City
Not enough time
Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) – Belton, MO – September 7, 2018
When I started with HCA, I was hired on to work four days a week for one department. Soon after, I had three other positions added to my position. I didn't have enough time to get everything done. This was an ideal job; five minutes from my home and for the most part, I enjoyed working with most of my colleagues. I didn't feel I was valued there.
Fun place 2 work
EVS Tech (Former Employee) – Kansas City, MO – September 5, 2018
I enjoyed working with the staff a HCA.. I enjoyed helping around 2 make sure the patient were comfortable and relaxed when they were filling down. Nothing like see a smile on their faces
Pros
Work Every other week
Cons
Lot of times short staff
Overworked and Under paid
PATIENT CARE TECHNICIAN (Former Employee) – Kansas City, MO – September 3, 2018
The staff is pushed on a daily with way to many patients and expected to provide daily care that is not possible when there aren't enough staff members to help
Pros
3 day work week
Cons
long and late hours, overworked
Great Team Work!
Strong decision maker (Current Employee) – Independence, MO – August 21, 2018
A typical day, working on the Med Surgical/ Oncology floor is extremely busy, having usually an assignment of 6 patients with a tech to support us. I have learned a lot about caring for patients with cancer, as well as preparing patients for surgery, taking care of patients post surgery, and other patients treated for other diseases, and needing supportive care.
This floor has excellent teamwork, where other workers will jump in and help you when you need assistance. The hardest part of the job is definitely handling 6 patients over a 12 hour shift. I have learned a lot regarding this type of floor, for future careers in the nursing field

Productive people don't even get chance to be productive cause of other's who like to be productive by mouth and not by working.
Medical Assistant (Former Employee) – Lenexa, KS – July 28, 2018
Medical center's or hospital are there to show care by how humble you are not how much talkative. People don't go there to have fun or to appreciate or dislike someone they are their to get taking care of the issue they are going through and that pretty much it........
