Pros

Decent pay, appreciative patient's and some co worker's. Options to join the union.

Cons

Some of the supervisor's micromanage you. Along with some co worker's. Most are either to busy flirting with the female staff or sitting in office not helping there staff. Stressful workload for the amount of thing's you have to do with low pay. Be prepared to be thrown into multiple positions that you didn't actually sign up to do. I.e. work in the dishroom all day washing dishes not running trays to patients rooms. Have I known this I would've never applied. Often time's your left with broken tablets and equipment that makes it impossible to do your job. The training is inadequate, most employees are miserable and extremely high turn over rate. They offer this employee recognition program yet I was there for 3 months and only after I put my notice in was I told I was valued and will be missed. Even though I've been told by co workers I was an extremely hard worker and asset to the team.

That doesn’t make it any less frustrating for you. Thank you for sharing your experience. We will use it to continue to improve and help our leaders support their teams.

Pros

Work was consistent and extra shifts are available.

Cons

Bottom of the ladder in the whole health-sphere. Frequently thought of as uninformed and held responsible for mistakes made by doctors or nurses etc.

Pros

Work from home. Provide insurance and 401K.

Cons

Many ITDS teams are staffed well below what Epic recommends. Most work is reactive versus proactive due to lack of sufficient staffing. Told by management that we need to fail so that we can hopefully prove to upper management that we need more help. Projects are often rushed and not completed to the customers satisfaction. ITDS appears incompetent, while losing all credibility that they have spent years creating with users.

It’s important to us to help employees maintain work/life balance. We’re sorry to hear that you feel overworked and understaffed. It’s true that many industries, including healthcare, have been affected by staffing shortages since the onset of Covid-19. Gundersen has not been immune to these effects. We’re working hard to recruit exceptional talent, and we’ve already made great strides in minimizing any staffing shortages. Please know that we’re so grateful for your contributions during such challenging times! If you have ongoing concerns about staffing levels in your department, please reach out to your next-level leader so that we can continue to improve.
