Pros

The benefits are pretty decent.

Cons

They lie on their employees and throw them under the bus to save face. Sentara is all about numbers over patient care. They implement all these policies that are bogus in the emergency dept where I worked. These policies and procedures are going to ultimately kill someone one day. The ED registration supervisor was mentally disturbed and always had a chip on her shoulder. She also threw her own employees under the bus for HER mistakes instead of owning up to her actions. And no advancement opportunities because management writes you up for every little thing.

Pros

The only good reason to work here was because it was close to my house. I did have some good coworkers in L&D, but that’s it!

Cons

Where to begin! This place is lies upon lies upon lies. I wouldn’t take my worst enemy here if they were dying. I’d keep doing CPR until I got to the next hospital!

Not bad, but not great

Pros

Benefits package is great; get a yearly bonus depending on your performance review and job rank; depending on the hospital you work in, there can be a great atmosphere; frequent communication in regards to how benefits are changing.

Cons

Not all jobs are secured; there is a huge wage disparity between cost of living and what certain positions make; certain hospital environments are toxic; more of a focus on politics and money than on the people lately; productivity expected of a single person is usually unrealistic, but the company refuses to hire more staff.
