Business Outlook

Pros

Gain HR experience at large healthcare corporation Work from home - all equipment is provided

Cons

Job descriptions are NOT transparent about the roles at HROC - it is a 24/7 call center with high expectations from HR colleagues out in the facilities. If you have a college degree, you are overqualified for roles here. Look elsewhere. High turnover – low employee retention MICROMANAGED constantly - you will be monitored on how many cases you close in a certain timeframe, how long you're logged off the phone, when you take breaks/go to the restroom. Inefficient training and no communication from management on process changes. No opportunity for growth outside of the call center - hard to move internally if you are a minority. Supervisors block internal applications to areas outside of HROC. Pay is not competitive for the market rate. Overtime is not paid at time in half. No types of bonuses or incentives. Work-life balance is nonexistent. Must work weekends and holidays. Must put PTO requests in 6 months in advance and it will likely not be approved.

HCA Corporate Offices are a High-School Circus

Content coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

First let me say that I left HCA of my own accord, under good circumstances and with good graces of my management. I worked at HCA CORPORATE - not in the divisions or facilities. Some very great, talented, and intelligent people work at the HCA corporate offices. They have huge opportunities to delve into new and complex projects. They offer stable jobs with relatively good compensation and benefits.

Cons

Women in power at the HCA Corporate offices (VPs and beyond) are superficial, repressive, and deeply vindictive. Those overseeing marketing, content, and other enterprise-wide services do not help those in their care use their skills, grow their strengths, succeed, or think strategically or creatively. Young women need not apply to HCA Corporate - they will have their spirits crushed and their work squandered. Young men may have a better shot, but unlikely. People are promoted at HCA Corporate only when others leave and no one else is there to step in. HR will placate you, but will NOT help you here. You will NOT be set up for success and even if you are doing the right things and the best things, HR will side with your "leadership." Selfishness, falsehoods, and back-stabbing are the ways to win at HCA.

Excessively Bottom-Line / Micromanagement

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

It's a job and jobs are scarce.

Cons

For-profit drives it all. Bottom line, counting pennies and seconds is the entire world at HCA. It drives all management, culture, and decisions. Worst micro-management I've ever experienced.
