Used to be a wonderful place to work until it became “Prisma Healthcare”
Pros
Offer great sign on bonuses to new employees with no experience necessary. They will hire any warm body. No critical thinking skills are required because people in suits that have zero direct patient care experience will make all your clinical decisions for you. Hourly pay is “competitive” (just don’t read the fine print).
Cons
Smoke and mirrors is the best way to describe Prisma’s business philosophy. They do not value longevity in the work place and think their employees are too dumb to see what they are doing. Perfect example of this is the “generous” raise they just issued, but when you click on the small print you find out that the raise is not a raise at all. Prisma is stealing from the loyal nurses that have dedicated the better part of their lives to “attract new talent” by making it look like the hourly pay is several dollars higher than it is by cutting weekend and evening shift differentials by several dollars on the hour “Look we just gave you a $4/hr raise” but they fail to mention that the $4/hr raise turns into literal pennies when you realize they cut your PTO accrual hours, cut the weekend differential in half and lowered the evening shift differential by one third. . Lol 😂 But it sure does look better on paper to say we make $4 hour more. Of course they announce this “raise” the week before the employee survey comes out. So if you want to work for a company that will court you well during the hiring process and then value you less and less the longer you work there …Prisma is the place for you! Since the transition from Greenville Memorial Hospital to Prisma the culture has gone out the window., On any given week day there are more members of management walking around than there are clinical staff to care for patients. We went from a community hospital that cared about their patients and staff to a major corporation that only sees dollar signs, numbers, and property to buy up. In the last few years many positions that used to require a bachelors degree now only require GED’s so they could pay them less. Prisma Health is looking to hire warm bodies No experience necessary! I could go on for days but the bottom line is if you are in the market for a job that you only plan on working for a few months to a couple of years, then Prisma may be a good fit for you, but if you are interested in a long term career where you are surrounded by competent professionals that value experience, dedication, and loyalty, then I suggest you look elsewhere.
