Good Place
Performance Improvement Advisor (Current Employee) – Winston-Salem, NC – February 14, 2019
Academic medical center, which means they support continuing education and most people are open minded and make decisions based on facts. Medical insurance is cheap because you have to see the doctors within the hospital, but they have all the specialties you need.
Great place to work

Generic Review of Critical Care Areas
Physician Assistant III, Critical Care (Current Employee) – Salem, NC – January 22, 2019
Critical care is a very demanding area. Certainly each facility has its ups and downs. Not sure how this location compares with others as my experience with other facilities in this capacity is limited. I've had the autonomy that I desire, I've been challenged and supported.
Pros
Autonomy, Culture for Learning, Location/Cost of Living
Cons
Work/Life Balance, Scheduling, Compensation/Benefits
Very fast paced working environment
Pharmacy Technician II (Former Employee) – Winston-Salem, NC – January 18, 2019
There are always opportunities for you to grow and improve your career. There are various pharmacies on campus to learn different skills to further your career.
Depends on your area
Registered Medical Assistant (Former Employee) – Winston-Salem, NC – January 14, 2019
I had a miserable experience at one of their smaller clinics. Not only was I bored to tears, but the manager had some of the poorest skills I've seen in my career. The man actually created drama and pit employees against each other. He thought nothing of cornering me in his office to be rude and condescending. One of the docs and I ended up being fairly good friends and he left within six weeks of me leaving. That clinic was toxic. I ended up filing a formal complaint against the manager because I'd never seen anything so blatantly unprofessional in my life.
Wake is entirely too huge to be able to offer quality medical care. That's my honest opinion. Patients can't reach their physicians, they fall through the cracks, every incoming phone call goes through a call center instead of directly to the office. There's no organization to it at all. I was expected to sit around twiddling my thumbs and that's not me. I ended up leaving because there was absolutely no future there, no challenge to my job, and the manager was a bully. Not my style at my age and definitely not the kind of quality medical care I'm accustomed to providing.

Patient Experiene Aanalyst (Current Employee) – Winston-Salem, NC – January 13, 2019
Academic environment, offering a learning opportunity
on every level. Fair and equal employment opportunities
within the medical center.
Most areas operate outside silos and are open to creative ways to lead.

at Wake
Security Officer- Winston (Former Employee) – Salem, NC – January 4, 2019
the work environment at wake forest baptist is average until you factor in the cut throat employees vying for attention from a manager that only takes care of their friends. then you have a stressful day of avoiding confrontations and balancing the ability to properly do your job.
Great!

Has the potential
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) (Former Employee) – Winston-Salem, NC – December 15, 2018
Could be far worse, has the potential to be FAR better, OUTSTANDING even!
Employee motivations and attitudes roll down hill from management, so when the management does not care, thus the employee will not.

not employee oriented
CMA (Current Employee) – NC – December 11, 2018
When WFBN took over our practice, they made the transition very difficult for a lot of employees. Without getting into specifics, I'm going to give an overview of what took place. In the first few weeks, we were not given access to certain parts of epic until we had the "training", although that specific job may have been our duty within the previous company. Without this access, we were severely disabled to do our job duties. 3 months in, the rules have changed and now everyone can do this duty without the "training" that was required. Managers were shifted around or put in administrative positions without even given a reason as to why these changes were taking place. All this was done without a warning or any kind of notice. As far as the pay goes, I can't give a fair assessment in this short amount of time but can say that we do get a pay increase for the cost of living. So far, that is it. I am very disappointed to say the least in how we are being treated during this transition. I have worked for UNC and Cone during their transition of buying offices out but did not have a bad experience as I have with WFBN.
I learned a lot from the doctors and the nurses that I work with.
CNAII (Current Employee) – Winston-Salem, NC – December 4, 2018
Great environment with my Dr.s and Nurses. There is a lot you can learn just being in the out pt setting. You get to meet and bond with different people from all over
Pros
Employee discounts, great benefits
Cons
Too many young people who dont want to work. Always on cell phones
Depends on your floor
Nurse (Former Employee) – Winston-Salem, NC – December 4, 2018
Depending on the floor you work on depends on a burn out. Very understaffed with some nurses having 6 or 7 patients which is not safe. Chagre nurse also has patients to look after as well.
Pros
great coworkers
Cons
understaffed
