Unappreciated, over-worked, staff with many years of experience and dedication treated as dispensable worker ants.

Pros

Large network of providers that you can see.

Cons

Incentive bonus that entire SMG staff worked hard all year to get was taken away due to the budget announced in an informal email two weeks before Christmas after staff worked all year to meet and exceed the company's financial goals, a large amount of responsibility placed on all staff who are then only noticed when something is "not done right" instead of a simple "thank you" or thumbs up when they are and lack of communication throughout the organization.

Swedish has little respect for employees, especially RNs, and managers are incompetent and unethical.

Pros

The hospital pays decent wages to RNs for the area. Benefits, while not the best, are akin to the area norm.

Cons

Management only cares about expansion. There is no respect shown to the RNs. Experienced nurses are treated as if they have no value, are expendable, and easily replaced. If desire for positive change is expressed in my unit, RNs are told they can look elsewhere for another job. Nurses are afraid to speak up. Poor working conditions thrive in this hospital because of the culture of fear. I have been astounded by the recent experiences I have had with a multitude of unethical employees in various roles in management, on the unit, and in Human Resources. Because the unethical behavior has been experienced from so many people at different levels and in so many positions, I can only assume this is the norm in SMC hospital culture. In summary, I do not recommend to my friends or family that they become patients in this hospital. Many advertising dollars create an appearance that does not exist in reality.
