What suggestions do you have for management?

"Listen to your front line ENGAGED team members and learn from them. Their opinions and suggestions most often are valid and doable."

"Nearly a decade at this company. WellStar compensation is intentionally aligned with median market pay, so talent is not attracted or retained often. There is an excess of middle management and because access/authorities are compartmentalized, resolving issues usually requires concerted effort between several teams. It causes very inefficient resolution times. There is little accountability or quality control in terms of employee performance. Just went to high-deductible HSAs for insurance."

"Kennestone Hospital is limited for opportunities with hard work and knowledge seldom appreciated. Many knee jerk reactions from management. Consider other employers if you can drive out of the area. Gave up other opportunity and it was a huge career mistake. Turnover rate seems above the norm. The facility is fair if you just want a paycheck and keep your head and eyes cast downward."

"I worked for Wellstar briefly in a contract role. During that time I noticed that there was a serious focus on patient safety and confidentiality. The compensation was great and the staff was knowledgeable and friendly."

"Stressful environment with limited resources. Mostly what looks good on paper rather than actual results. Expectations change day by day can cause blunders that management does not take accountability."

"It would be better if had enough staff. So many walking around surveying that have no experience to be of help or know what to do. More staff needed that actually take care or support. Most of the actual workers for sure make it happen."

"In opinion, unionize Kennestone to improve relations and care. Never have been a proponent of unions till Kennestone. Behavior rules apply depending on who you are or know. HR is no assistance for the employee. Gallup surveys do not reflect actual opinions as tactile strategies or punishment goes into preparation not actual improvements. Positively they are some great people too that want to give their best and their morale can be broken. It is a hard place to fit in."

"My opinion! Support is not there. We are cut back in resources. Disjointed communications makes it difficult to support care. Inefficient and wasteful in some area. Too many agendas. The community board needs to take a closer look at how the place is really run now. HR does not support the employee and either do not know what to do, cannot do the right thing, or is brutal to protect the company and keep their own job."

"Great company and great benefits. Wellstar truly believes in taking care of its employees. They are listed in the top 50 jobs to work for in the United States."

"I only worked here for 4 short weeks and in that short time frame I learned that adult bullying exists in this work place, specifically by management. I was not fully trained before being expected to go on my own, and when I spoke up I was quite literally put in my place verbally and told to deal with it. Sorry but I would expect that new employees are given an opportunity to learn first, then go into the firing rounds and fend for yourself. And if I experience an issue, that management would make an attempt to address the issue, resolve it and move forward."

"Terrible, abusive culture and work environment. Unsupportive management. Problems do not get solved. Unable to provide proper support due to bureaucracy, end up taking blame for many things you are unable to change. Poor performers are not addressed. Promotions don’t go to the deserving, they frequently don’t even go to the qualified."

"I’ve worked for WellStar for 2 years. The company is great. Each professional services the patients well with good spirits and attitudes."

"My career history demonstrates my results-oriented approach, in addition to strong communication and project coordination skills. I pride myself on being an organized and dependable IT professional, a collaborative team player, and a creative problem solver. Below are some examples of the assets I can bring to Jobot: Leading project initiation and planning activities to structure the project, including facilitating the definition of project goals, objectives, and scope. Strong background in IT network infrastructure and applications, project management, change management. Manages communications and expectations of clients, sponsors, users, team, contractors and the enterprise while ensuring project adherence to established IT project methodologies and standards, including developing resource plans, risk assessments, project plans, checkpoint reviews, etc."

"Very jealous leader. If you are good the leader tries to stop your progress and ruin your career. Micromanagement. Tyrannical directors. No one is interested in improving and the team as a while wants to keep the standard low. Too much favoritism."
