Pros

Very few...met a handful of wonderful, kind people in varying departments other than my own over my few years there. Access to general medical treatment is helpful if you become ill or need to see a doctor for something like a sinus infection or something minor...

Cons

Where to begin? Everything I was told about my position when I was hired was a complete lie. Numerous bosses and supervisors in several years, 70% turnover rate in several departments, including mine. HR reps were switched each 6 -8 months. Never seen anything like this in my entire career. Worst human beings I've ever been subjected to in my life. Leaders who lie through their teeth to associates' faces, discussing employees personal information with other leaders and employees, gossiping and outright lying about them to get them fired, setting employees up to fire them for no reason other than to ruin their reputation (OH is an at-will state; employers don't need a reason to let an employee go) - you name it - these practices exist throughout OhioHealth. And it's rampant. OH claims to continue to be listed in one of the Top 100 companies to work for, but the surveys the employees receive to fill out are SO skewed that there's no way to answer them in a way that doesn't paint OhioHealth in the best possible light, and there's also no place to add any kind negative of feedback; only positive feedback is accepted. In my several years of employment there, I spoke to scores of unhealthy, unhappy employees there. Multiple senior level leaders who were very good, honest, kind people who worked there for a number of years were either being forced out, severely demoted for embarrassing reasons (the real reasons were because they wouldn't go along with the slimy practices that had since become a daily routine there), and it was only getting uglier.

Pros

Somewhat decent pay for associates, but does it matter when your job isn't secure??

Cons

Another disappointing decision from corporate: eliminating all nurses in urgent care, regardless of tenure or performance. This feels like another example of leadership prioritizing small cost savings and lining their own pockets over patient safety and quality of care. Nurses were informed through a last minute Teams meeting where the director read from a prepared script about pre- and post- COVID staffing and the decision to return to so-called “national staffing standards.” No questions were allowed. Meanwhile, 16 job postings for medical assistants have already appeared in order to replace these asaociates (some nurses have already had the unknowing pleasure of training their MA replacements and learned that fact during the meeting! Wonderful!). If the change truly reflects national standards, even minimal research quickly raises questions about that explanation. It’s incredibly disheartening to see decisions like this being made at the expense of the nurses who have consistently supported these clinics and truly care about the patients they serve. Don't visit their urgent cares if your goal is to receive safe, competent care.
