Texas Health Resources reviews

THR is technically a non-profit, but in practice that is in name only. They are the most profit-minded non-profit I've ever seen. CEO and executive salaries are simply ridiculous, some of the highest in all of North Texas, even including for-profit companies. 6 million for the CEO in 2009 (this is public information, not an insider secret). Ridiculous. They say they have a culture of caring, but in reality they are quick to lay off regular employees, but not executives, as soon as there is a hiccup in the numbers. If they really cared about their employees they wouldn't have to keep telling you how much they care. Layoffs happen about every 3 years, and it's just luck of the draw if you get cut. Unless you know somebody. With 600 IS employees, the organization is too big to remember an individual's long-term contributions and loyalty. It doesn't matter how many amazing things you've done, as soon as a new management team comes in you could be out the door. Unless you know somebody. Upper management in IS is VERY political and they tend to be loyal only to their inner circle.

Silos are large and tough to break through. The left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing in this corporation. Amazing behavior by certain employees and departments which becomes "status quo" for years. (i.e. Taking over a week to grant system access to RNs. Think about it..... if you are an RN who can't chart, you are an RN who can't work. And that's ok with you?) A ITS Help Desk who tries to help, but they are just another cog in the wheel. And worst of all, leaders who don't lead. Some managers have few to no people skills. Many were promoted since they knew or are related to someone.
