Pros

EMHS is a rapidly expanding company in Bangor Maine. I was absorbed with the acquisition of Mercy Hospital, and placed into an exciting role. They have wonderful benefits and I received OK compensation for the work I was doing.

Cons

In 8 months, I had only one team meeting, I had met with my manager only once. Lots of work, no almost direction. Inefficiency abounds and they are not in the least bit interested in fixing the problems. Management shares almost nothing with the staff in the way of information. I received lots of directives on what I should and should not be doing, only to have these change on a whim. Workers are put into silos and cross-communication is strongly discouraged. This type of behavior is a huge departure from the "Together We're Stronger" motto which is plastered on anything EMHS slaps their logo on. No career advancement options in Portland.

Pros

There were no real pros

Cons

Trained for half a day in diagnostic imaging and witnessed multiple issues effecting patient safety and profit over quality. Was told directly that if there were to be audits serious infractions could result. I refuse to work in a place that abuses staff and actively demonstrates disrespect of an entire dept that generates so much profit and plays an important part in clinical decision making. Also relies on staff to generate detailed reports above and beyond what is rational and offered no discussion or plan for improvement. No wonder they are always dying for help there and the patient wait times are often 1 to 2 hours for routine outpatient imaging. Entire staff from hr down was overwhelmed and understaffed with little to no orientation for a large and busy facility. Drs were explained to be threatening and harassing of staff as well on very first shift of training and that you should just get used to it and show you "want to learn" and there would be less harassment. Laughable in my 14 years of experience ive never seen such disrespect.
