Pros

Cafeteria Food is Pretty Good

Cons

Benefits are paltry, and expensive. It took HR way over the promised-timeline just to get me enrolled in benefits, I spent multiple times calling them, always was told "we're working on it". Human Resources staff are impossible to reach, as the process of how to contact them means you'll ALWAYS get voicemail, and good luck getting them to call back. Managers are always looking up to make any decision, zero-leadership, and is obviously structured that way purposely. I was lied to by management regarding my employment, they later pulled me into a conference room and told me they were reducing my pay due to their error. The whole time there was like a Twilight Zone experience. Seriously people, there's nothing there for you, this place is so poorly ran, and the culture there is so entrenched in lethargy, paralysis, disregard for staff, inefficiency, and callousness. There's no regard for staff retention. There are so many other facilities in Northern New England that are FAR superior to EMMC on every level. Don't make the mistake I made, pass up on this place!

Pros

There were no real pros

Cons

Trained for half a day in diagnostic imaging and witnessed multiple issues effecting patient safety and profit over quality. Was told directly that if there were to be audits serious infractions could result. I refuse to work in a place that abuses staff and actively demonstrates disrespect of an entire dept that generates so much profit and plays an important part in clinical decision making. Also relies on staff to generate detailed reports above and beyond what is rational and offered no discussion or plan for improvement. No wonder they are always dying for help there and the patient wait times are often 1 to 2 hours for routine outpatient imaging. Entire staff from hr down was overwhelmed and understaffed with little to no orientation for a large and busy facility. Drs were explained to be threatening and harassing of staff as well on very first shift of training and that you should just get used to it and show you "want to learn" and there would be less harassment. Laughable in my 14 years of experience ive never seen such disrespect.
