Sentara Health reviews

Everything is silos. Managers and employees in each department only care about whatever piece of a project or task is THEIR responsibility. "That's not my job" is a phrase that is heard on a daily basis. Management was condescending and only concerned about the bottom line. Not unusual for a big corporation, it's just not how things were at the hospital before Sentara bought it out in 2010. Sad.

-Monopoly on Health IT in the region, no other options to work in the field without being open to extensive travel -No flex time, it is determined per team and manager, some teams get extensive work from home time during holidays other teams only in case of emergency (applied only to IT) -Very little training offered, or options for certification/vendor training -Poor all around project management, employees are hired based on technical skill but PM work is required in the job, there is little to no training to compensate for this -Lower range on the pay scale for titles, and very little chance to increase other than moving high into upper management, even they are underpaid
