Pros

- The PTO is adequate, if your supervisor approves the request when you ask for it. - The staff are very nice but not there for long.

Cons

- Facilities are in dire need of attention and upgrading. I would never go to a MedStar facility as a patient knowing what I know now. - Low salaries are the norm across all MedStar facilities. - Raises are about 1.5%. It is very rare to get more than that (unheard of, so you better feel comfortable with the low-balled salary). - The expectation to raise concerns leads to a culture of bullying on baseless lies, which I witnessed in subordinate staff numerous times. - Absentee management - Unqualified managers and HR staff that were severely lacking in employment and HR law

Pros

My Manager and Supervisors are great, Work hours have been good for me. Of course there’s gossip happening, but I don’t pay attention to it.

Cons

I was told that there is a bonus. I understand that it’s something that is not mandatory to give, but my coworkers & I work so hard. I believe that a Christmas bonus for all MedStar employees would be appreciated.
