Cleveland Clinic reviews

I've worked here for three months and have to say I do feel like just a number. I understand that the Clinic employs thousands but, the nurse management on my floor needs to treat their nurses and aids as more than just a number. I pick up many shifts for overtime as it is time and a half and there is usually an incentive to pick up more hours but, the clinic often cancels my extra shifts as they do not want to pay the overtime for the position. Breaks are 30 minutes for lunch and you are supposed to get 2 15 minute breaks with a 12 hour shift but, the 15s almost never happen. There is a 2 year requirement per position, meaning you need to stay in the same position for 2 years before they'll let you transfer to a different floor or different position (even for clinical to non-clinical roles).

Clicquish environment, poor management, low raises, lower pay than one would expect in certain areas, long hours, very little encouragement or even training for that matter. They throw you into a job where the employees ignore you, management berates you, the pay sucks, slackers who’ve been there for years act haughty. On top of that the commute isn’t pleasant, parking is atrocious, and personal safety is a big issue. My advice? Keep your head down, don’t make the slackers look bad, suck up to management, and never complain. Otherwise find a job elsewhere.
