From June 17, 2023: One Star: Low pay, no retirement matching, no overtime atm
Pros
Health insurance and prescription plan allows free generics and brand name meds with such low copays Pto accrual is great Coworkers/teamwork
Cons
Company is trying to save money before new hospital is opened, eliminating lots of positions and departments and demoting them barely puts a dent into the saving goal. This was done poorly in the middle of the day.
403b/401k matching has been paused again, twice since covid began, not that it was high at 2.25% to begin with.
Low pay… but it’s supposed to be acceptable because we are a non-profit organization. No raises after they gave a majority of the organization a raise in 2022 to match market, so there are some who have not received a raise since 2021.
No parking garages at new hospital. New hospital is like a mile away from a competing hospital that has parking garages.
Only 20% discount for employees at cafeteria, other hospital gives 30% off for their employees.
Barely any advancement opportunities since positions/departments are being eliminated Staff shortages due to people leaving to work for other hospitals and overtime is not allowed atm
Advice to Management
Be more transparent about financial state being worse than reviewed during Forums, should’ve start the changes long time ago instead of just 3 months before new hospital opens

Pros
I truly enjoy working at Baptist Health Care. They are excellent for someone who is starting off in their career or towards the end of retirement.
Cons
The pay is absolutely horrible, really long hours. No pay increases. Not much room for growth.

From June 27, 2023 – One Star: Unethical, Back Stabbing, Horrible Management
Pros
None! There is not anything Pro about this place. They are only worried about money and do not pay or take care of their employees whatsoever. No COLA or raises and major cuts without notice…
Cons
Everything and anything you can think of. Double standards, ethics, HA-they dont know the meaning of that word here. They are liars and back stabbing evil people. Management is sneaky and underhanded. AVOID THIS PLACE!!!!!
Advice to Management
You will all answer for your lies and sins and nothing, no even all the money you are all obsessing over and only focus on will save you on judgement day!

From July 13, 2023 – One Star: Unorganized mess
Pros
Great culture 5+ years ago.
Cons
VP/Senior leadership jumping ship- at least 8 in the past 2 years. New VPs hired to change culture but it’s only getting worse.
Unexpected layoffs without notices even though directors are still getting their bonuses.
No raises, however, they did a 3% market increase to everyone for the first time in years… when inflation is over 8%.
401/403K freezes – second time in two years.
Medical insurance deductible and co-pays increased last year and this was never mentioned during benefits rollout, just prided themselves on “no premium increases this year”. This place is a mess.

Note: I have spoken with current and former employees who have brought up the layoffs, lack of pay raises and bonuses, and the doubling of health insurance premiums. If others wish to contact me, email me at rick@inweekly.net.
