Senior Accountants Run the Show of PSG

Staff accountant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Benefits. 401K matching. Work life balance needs improving. Friendly people.

Cons

Senior Accountants control must of all the daily functions for PSG in terms of Hiring, Firing, Advancement, Accounting Projects, and team building. Managers usually coast on their teams' success to finish out close and discipline staff if deadlines are missed due to intercompany entries not booked by the hospital. Staff 1 and Staff 2 accountants are treated unfairly and over worked due to deadlines. Upper Management will give false hope of advancement or opportunities to move to another position in HCA. Senior staff have favorites in there teams and show them more favorable in promotions than other workers in the group. HCA does monitor there company evaluation by department. If the department score is low than Management will try to weed out the people that submitted a low score.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great learning opportunity for a new nurse graduate. Developed a strong sense of time management and understanding of various diseases and courses of treatment. Learned to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

Cons

HCA emphasizes productivity, profit and bottom line. They push their nurses to the limit and sometimes too far. Very high turnover rate. Not a lot of senior nurses, all new grads on my unit.

Pros

Great people on staff, but high turnover rate. No security for most with higher level of experience.

Cons

They would rather hire new grads than experienced, more costly staff. The patients care ultimately suffers. I wouldn't recommend pursuing a career with HCA
