Northside Hospital reviews

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

Turns their back to bully’s. Had to call HR after an ongoing problem with a department leadership member (basically the equivalent to a charge nurse). Was told I didn’t need to call back even when things got worse. Northside CLAIMS to be a no tolerance place to bullies, but all they will do is send these people to some classes and let the problem continue. After 4 years of employment I had heard rumors of how this was the MO but thought for some reason I was different and my claims would be taken seriously. I was truly shocked to not be backed up when I shared my workplace problems with Senior-most leadership, that I believed I had a good relationship with. It’s VERY apparent leadership doesn’t actually want to hear your concerns, they will just settle for the turnover. I was told instead, “Don’t say the word bully”. Which basically felt like more bullying to stay quiet. Honestly, I don’t understand how multiple people over years can complain about a single person (including a LGBTQ staff member regarding sexual partner preference) and a person can STILL be employed. Would rather be short staffed than give people the option of overtime. (Leadership doesn’t want their bonus’s effected).
