Tenet Healthcare Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Tenet Healthcare

Pros – They pay is pretty well.

Cons – It is all about the budget, not the patient

Advice to Senior Management – Stop trying so hard to keep your job, instead remember how to do your job

Current Employee – been working at Tenet Healthcare full-time for more than a year

Pros – Stability, Intelligent People, Work-life balance, positive, stable and growing industry, office downtown, free parking,

Cons – Inconsistent or outdated systems at HQ, usual corporate issues like red tape, lots of paperwork, action hindered by need for compliance, benefits aren't fantastic. All employees at HQ are in cubes. Very little to no privacy.

Advice to Senior Management – Make time to speak with "the troops" in order to learn about issues that aren't visible at your level. We've had some new senior executives (on the job for 6-12 months) who appear to be clueless about issues that have been around for years and can affect company performance, profitibality and morale.

Current Employee – been working at Tenet Healthcare full-time for more than a year

Pros – Great co-workers, they are supportive.

Cons – Now this may be territorial but at our facility...non-competitive pay (we are 20% below national average), always short staffed, staffing matrix doesn't budge despite growing demands of census, uninvolved manager to really fix staffing issues. They totally rely on everyone to pull OT to cover shortages...all the time....gets old. Not enough support staff to delegate tasks to so nurses are doing everything! Equipment is out dated, broken, or can't be found. I have been a nurse for 14 years, worst hospital system I have worked for.

Current Employee – been working at Tenet Healthcare full-time

Pros – pretty good hourly pay, opportunity to move around, change positions, try to find a better manager before that one goes away.

Cons – Disciplinary and dictator like attitude among managers seems to be preferred. Actual problem solving and critical analysis of problems are secondary to employees doing what they are told. Expect to be responsible for unrealistic demands, be ready to defend yourself, and explain that you have no control over something that should be obvious. Finger pointing is abundant.

Advice to Senior Management – Respect (listen to) your front line staff nurses. Think. Stop blaming the staff nurse for neg outcomes within the environment you have created and chosen.

Current Employee – been working at Tenet Healthcare full-time for less than a year

Pros – Excellent work environment. Hospital and managers support continuing education and growth. Managers treat employees with respect and as equals. Unlike most hospitals, this one doesn't work it's employees to death! Insurance and benefits are reasonably priced and overall pretty good especially for prenatal services.

Cons – The patient volume isn't always really high so sometimes we have to "flex" which means we may not work a day or we may only work a half day. For me personally, the salary is high enough that I don't really have to worry too much about it but when there are 2-3 days in a week that I'm leaving after only 3-4 hours it does sometimes make me a little nervous but so far, it has not impacted me in a negative way. Also, the insurance has a deductible which I'm not used to and don't particularly like so I use my spouse's as a secondary. The PTO could be better, its only about 4.93 hours every 2 weeks.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep doing what you are doing! Your employees (at least at my location) are very happy!
