Ochsner Health reviews

Salaries are generally low. In fact, on the annual employee engagement survey, the majority of staff expressed lack of satisfaction with their salary. The CEO responded with videos that say things like "please remember, your compensation is the total of your salary and your benefits!." Hint hint: that's the truth everywhere, and the benefits are nothing to write home about. Tuition reimbursement is negligible for a company that supposedly values education. Health insurance is pretty horrible if you're ever outside (displaced by hurricane, on vacation) of the Ochsner area in Greater New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Retirement was pretty poor and I didn't participate, as the 5 or 6 year vesting schedule was too much. I knew I wouldn't make it that long. Vacation and PTO are also nothing to write home about. When we were displaced by a hurricane, the company was particularly insensitive to employees' attempts to get back to the area in time. Clock ins and outs are policed like crazy. This is NOT the place to work, if you have a family. General cheap and disrespectful policies. PTO sold back at only 60% of your salary - what? Caps on salaries that are low and pretty easy to hit. Raises were not present for several years that I was there or were reduced to almost nothing (.5% - 1%, less than inflation).

No room for career development inside departments. Must switch around to advance in any way. Leadership and Dept heads will be there until retirement and work very hard to ensure that no one will advance above them. Leadership is under educated and unknowledgable in regards to the work they preform outside of the every day tasks. 5 years in and every major event seems to be a first time effort without any logic behind methods and process. Limited space and resources for employees to preform work.
