Pros

Northwell currently revamping their benefits. Friendly coworkers. Supportive management.

Cons

Sick and vacation time come from the same bank. As an employee who has been working for Northwell for 5 years, I only accumulate 6 hrs and some change biweekly. Barely a day for working 2 weeks. Also, Management cannot approve vacations unless you have the PTO hrs and the staff needed to cover. Vacation approval process is the worst experience I have ever had no matter the department I've worked in.

Pros

Office setting; nice people, cafeteria

Cons

Overworked and severely underpaid, short staffed for the amount of patients they intake to the program (on the clinician side and administrative), very low pay for administrative workers, little to no real benefits (PTO is not front loaded but trickled in: 1 hour accumulated per pay period - it would take about 4 months to accumulate 1 full day of PTO. Sick time is a similar trickle system so you end up taking a lot of unpaid time until you can’t), due to that it’s impossible to not get burnt out. The union also hasn’t negotiated a good contract if these conditions exist for those at the basic level. Food in the cafeteria is not great and sometimes gives people the runs. Also it’s expensive (full price despite working for the org; they cannot even give discounts which is weird considering how much the CEO makes and how little we do). Feel abandoned and not properly compensated. Deeply exhausted.
