Pros

One of the two hospital systems in town.

Cons

High nurse patient ratios, promotions and transfers blocked by managers, no promotion from within. Recently observed a very meticulous, dedicated caring employee of 5 years finish nursing school and have to leave the company to go to a competitor because no one would promote this person within the organization. This person was everything you could want in a nurse or employee and yet they would rather lose this person completely than help their employee grow, like they say they do. Management will ask you to stay over or come in to help on your day off and then "flex" you and send you home on your regularly scheduled day to keep you from getting overtime. They will not tell you you are going to be flexed until 2 hrs before your scheduled shift, so you can't even make alternate plans ahead of time. Conditions have been steadily deteriorating for quite some time now.

Pros

As an organization, I truly believe that Orlando Health truly means well and truly does care about its team members and the community they serve. Their benefits are very good and pay rates are competitive

Cons

I left OH after more than 16 years, and the decision ultimately came down to a deeply ingrained lack of respect for critical frontline teams. My Field Support team was responsible for supporting every merger and acquisition, every major upgrade, and the day-to-day operation of all computer equipment across the organization. Despite this, we were consistently overlooked and rarely acknowledged in large meetings, while other teams received recognition. The breaking point came during a meeting with the Senior Director of IT/CE Operations (now Assistant Vice President), when I was asked about my job satisfaction. I raised a straightforward concern: that my team’s contributions were significant and deserved the same visibility and respect as others. The response was direct and telling: "Respect? That's never going to happen,” and he continued "You are merely a commodity that is only noticed if you fail." that made the culture and leadership mindset unmistakably clear. After 16 years of dedication, I chose to leave an environment where essential work is taken for granted and respect is not given equally and is impossible to be earned.
