Akron Children's reviews

Not the best benefits A lot of moving parts and communication can sometimes be missed Since it’s a hospital setting your PTO is clumped with holiday pay

Poor base pay and shift differential compared to other hospitals in the region. No merit raises for good performance, only a 2-3% cost of living raise every year. Insurance is expensive and there is no tier one network option for adults so there are a lot of out of pocket costs on top of monthly premiums. For maternity leave, they only pay 50% of your pay for 6 weeks. If you want more time off you need to use your PTO or go unpaid. Hospital administration does not care about its employees and you are disposable to them. During a meeting to discuss the new “staffing playbook” that doesn’t allow for any work-life balance, we were told “find a new job if you don’t like it. There’s a line out the door of people who want to work here.” Now the hospital is more understaffed than it ever was before and patient assignments are extremely unsafe for the nurses and patients. Turns out there is no line out the door for poor pay and an unsafe working environment.
