Boston Medical Center reviews

Now this is a large institution and that always brings issues with communication, changes that nobody wants to make. There is also a strong sense of conforming to the rules and regs of the Joint Commision. And, while that is not a bad thing, it does mean that people and departments can be quite policy and procedure bound. Essentially, the hospital doesn't shy away from red tape. Also, because of the location near several homeless shelters and "methadone mile" you will see alot of drunks, addicts and homeless people. In the hospital and around the fringes of campus. Security does a good job, a really good job trying to keep everyone safe. Also, it is a union hospital. again, not a good or bad thing... just adds more red tape. And there are exceptions to the wonderful caring attitudes that I mentioned before. People using phones to call long distance relatives, watching TV in waiting rooms. And of course staffing. always need more staffing.

Disorganized chaos Toxic leadership (most specifically the COO & CIO both of who breed toxic mid level leadership) Lack of consideration for colleagues - cut throat and "me" culture. Everyone works in silo'd divisions Completely inefficient (the only thing Lean about this place is the hamburger in the cafeteria) Lack of basic tools and equipment to do ones job (forget about getting a decent computer or having any space to collaborate with coworkers since the restructuring of campus) Extremely negative culture Poor employee morale Lack of communication Lack of teamwork Lack of inclusion
