Pros

- Incredible Teammates - A lot of work to stay busy - Overall, hospital staff appreciates the interpretation team I had an amazing time primarily working at the Duluth Hospital & Gwinnett's ED/ICU Units during my time with Northside. The hospital staff was always kind to me, appreciative, & kindly called me for any language needs. The rapport was incredible! (My interpreter colleagues & hospital staff are truly the only reason why I gave Northside 2 stars & not 0 stars)

Cons

In my 7 years of experience as a hospital interpreter, this by far has to be the most disappointing experience I have ever had working for an interpreting team. In Summary: - Your voice means nothing within the department (This is due to personal experience. In a quarterly meeting I made a suggestion in front of everyone just to be told by the team supervisor, "I don't think anyone would take you serious", after offering to do rounds/in-services. So there's that) - Your hard work means nothing within the department. - Multiple resignations (3 in under a year) - Hostile work environment (I came to work dressed in business casual attire (**Khaki's, Shoes, Northside logo zip-up, comfortable non visible T-shirt under the zip-up** I was told to "Unzip" my pull over & asked to completely take it off in front of team members & I was sent home by supervisor for wearing a T-shirt under my Northside zip-up that was zipped up** This did not happen just once but two times. Once in front of the Lawrenceville team & another time in front of the Duluth Team. I was humiliated to say the least.) -No room to grow

Pros

I have been privileged to work for Northside Hospital for the past five years, and my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. During my tenure, I have benefited from the organization's commitment to employee growth through its annual internal promotion policy, which has allowed me to advance within my current department. One of the aspects I value most is Northside's support for work-life balance and professional development. While working here, I was able to begin my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program from the ground up and am on track to graduate in December 2026. The flexibility and encouragement provided by the organization have played a significant role in helping me pursue my educational goals while continuing to contribute as an employee. I was a full-time employee for most of my career with the organization and recently transitioned to part-time status to accommodate the increased demands of my nursing program. The support and understanding shown by management throughout this process have reinforced my appreciation for the company's employee-centered culture. I am grateful for the opportunities, professional growth, and support I have received over the past five years.

Cons

None that I can think of right now
