Disorganized - Recensione dipendente - Administrator presso Island Health

Beautiful location, very friendly staff

Share some of the downsides

work can be fun, nice coworkers, nice patients sometimes,sometimes state of the art equipment, beautiful town.

Benefits are awful. No paid holidays. Comes from your own vacation. No benefits first 90 days so if you relocate you have no insurance. I came from King County. GET MEDICAID. Girlfriend gave me the advice but it was too late. Anacortes extremely expensive so everyone drives in from out of town. Management very strict on policy technicalities. Hospital has a bad reputation with the local population. Ask anyone in town. CEO has a 5 million dollar house, all the C levels are millionaires (check property values Skagit Cty) while many employees are on food stamps and can’t even afford the health insurance. Not flexible with schedules, taking time off is hard bc so short staffed. Time off is looked down upon by mgmt. They will never take your side: patient complained about me and I tried explaining my side of the story and they did not want to hear it. Wasn’t even my patient!! The salary is low for the cost of living, and the hospital spends money like crazy for management salaries and surgery robots they don’t even use (seriously!). Turnover very high. People get fired all the time for unexplained reasons. My manager was amazing and was overworked and had to leave and the hospital did not care at all.
