Pros

Health Benefits & PTO were excellent. Peer coworkers excellent.

Cons

Occurrence policy is very strict, 1 minute late past clock-in for your shift it is documented. If you accumulate 12 of these the disciplinary documentation with a supervisor begins. 7 minutes late and it counts double. The Charlotte traffic is terrible, something to be aware of. Living close to the facility where you work is important.

Pros

Novant Health has been a breath of fresh air for my work life balance. Healthcare is a demanding field but this organization understands that in order to take care of people, they have to take care of their people. During my first vacation, I was encouraged to completely unplug from email and focus on recharging. This is unheard of at many other organizations including my last one where it was required to check-in on mission-critical tasks. I was completely burned out so this was a needed change. I've never felt like a number and everyone's voice matters. Team members are encouraged to speak up when it comes to the remarkable patient experience and pause when they have concerns. I have seen team members suggest ideas or bring up concerns to the CEO and top executives at town hall style meetings and can see the positive impacts of those ideas as they come to fruition. I'm not only a team member but also a patient, and it's truly amazing to see the remarkable patient experience in action. Nurses, doctors, PA's, and front desk team members all treat me and my family with care and compassion. Novant Health has been an incredible fit for me personally and I recommend jobs to people I have worked with. It continues to be an organization that I'm proud to come into work each day and make a difference!

Cons

Projects can sometimes take a long time to implement. Novant Health moves pretty quickly for healthcare but just not fast enough as some other organizations. I have seen changes made to IT in the past year that show we are moving faster, and I hope that trend continues.

Pros

Insurance is pretty good. The yearly bonuses are nice.

Cons

There are WAY too many upper administration positions. It's EXTREMELY top heavy. I've been in healthcare almost 20 years and NEVER worked for an organization with so many AVP, VP, Directors, Managers, Market CEO, then individual facility CEOs. If they didn't have so many people in these positions then they might could afford to hire more front line staff. The staff/patient ratios are TERRIBLE. They consistently preach "we need to cut cost" but continue to pay big money to upper administrators that are unnecessary. Upper administration even gets hefty bonuses if they can come in under budget. Administration is almost sickening with their "give remarkable care" sermons, but staff continue to be overworked and underpaid so it gets hard to be remarkable when they are burnt out. It's also sad that the CEO asked employees to post only positive experiences here on glass door and if we had anything not positive to say to discuss our concerns with HR. However HR doesn't do anything with our concerns.
