IU Health

"Great for getting experience but not for long term development and goals. "

"Very poor compensation and benefits when compared to other similar employers in the geographical and categorical areas. Largely female workforce due to the nature of the business/company (healthcare, employs thousands of RNs, a profession that is traditionally primarily female) yet has inflexible and penalizing attendance policies that is primarily disadvantageous to working mothers. Upper management severely penalized, and even blocked the efforts of, women (who were actually fired for their efforts) who were trying to start a RN union within the organization to advocate for equal rights, better compensation, policy changes, etc. No room for advancement. Company does not value the employees on the front line (those who are providing direct patient care) who are actually helping to sustain the company, and not only does not value these employees, but considers them expendable, making these employees’ expendability very well known. The culture of the working environment is that the company just needs a warm body to satisfy the minimum national patient care staffing ratios, and that is all that they are concerned about. Not only are the employees’ lives greatly affected adversely, but patients’ lives are adversely affected as well by this culture of lack of care and concern for the company’s employees."
