Holyoke Medical Center reviews

In my dept (OR and related) it is heavily clique-dependent and if you're not adding/participating in the social drama you are essentially shunned. Lack of communication skills amongst staff, they simply report their concerns with the OR manager. This resorts to a laundry list of faults that are never addressed until the employee is already on their way out. Benefits are from HNE now, apparently this is a downfall from the previous Blue Benefit. Hard to move up in career ladder due to seniority on same level calling the shots. Management often doesn't have training or prior managing experience and this can impact said communication skills. Cliquey environment. Started dreading coming into work after the first month for the first time in my life. Manager added to drama and gossip instead of working it out amongst employees involved.

Very cliquey organization since most of senior management either grew up together, went to school together, live in the same community or children go to school together. As a result, it is impossible for management to be objective and fair. The environment is toxic to anyone who opposes the status quo. Only the fat cats get a pension - hence the reason they don't like to retire.
