1. Management does not have your back! They are much too concerned with their own back’s!
2. Salaries for almost every position in the hospital are substandard! When you take the same positions and compare them with neighboring hospitals in the northern part of the state or even just in middle Georgia you’ll find that the hourly rate is severely off balance. Discussing your pay rate with your coworker is an offense that is punishable by termination, that’s how secretive they want the fact that they are cheating their employees kept a secret!
3. This facility cares nothing about seeing your a T. New management that is been brought in in recent years feels that the older employees are a weight and burden that the facility must eliminate in order to grow and prosper. They don’t take into consideration the fact that these senior employees are the backbone of the facility and are the ones that built SGMC into what once was a great place to receive quality, patient centered care, And it was a great place to work even though they never quite could get the salary situation taken care of.
4. Job security doesn’t exist! Example: if someone in upper management such as a department director or supervisor does not like you or for whatever reason feels that you don’t fit in the organization the way they think you should fit into the organization they will work tirelessly to remove you from the organization. They will take policies and procedures and twist and turn and burn them to create whatever is necessary to scrape you off of SGMC’s payroll. So again JOB SECURITY does not exist at South Georgia Medical Center.
I could go on and on, but if after reading these four points you still feel that SGMC SOUTHSIDE place for you to work then by all means fill out the application and then full steam ahead. But you can’t say you weren’t warned
