Wellstar Health System reviews

Toxic/unsupportive environment where achievements are not recognized and favoritism is apparent Achievements are not recognized or rewarded finger pointing is common place and seems to be embraced over true strategic planning Lack of accountability and inability to make decisions Turnover is rampant and increasing with no clear plan to retain those who have remained dedicated to Wellstar Bullying seems to be respected and even rewarded via growing responsibility and promotions at the most senior levels Health insurance is awful with highest rates around

- Wellstar has mandated all staff receive the Covid-19 vaccine or be terminated - Many of the nurses in the unit remind me of high school girls, because there is so much gossip, and they will throw tantrums if they don't get their way. - Pay is mediocre compared to other Atlanta hospitals. - The Cardiothoracic Surgeons (Dr. Luu; Dr. Burke; Dr. Myung) are hands-off, so we communicate almost exclusively with their PA's and NP's. - Their (CT Surgeons) PA's and NP's are also demeaning and talk down to new staff. - Poor interprofessional communcation between the CT surgeons, Critical Care, and Heart Failure teams; which often results in the nurse serving as the messenger between them. - Grossly understaffed - There is borderline (arguably actual) discrimination against those who choose not to be vaccinated, regardless of legitamate reasons.
