    What’s it like working at Campbelltown Hospital?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Campbelltown Hospital has some very good and dedicated staff, and the hospital's growth and expansion provide career and learning opportunities. The library facilities and staff are appreciated, and some employees feel supported by higher management. There is a sense of teamwork and family among staff, who celebrate special occasions together. The hospital also offers flexible management, which is seen as a positive.

    However, there are potential challenges, such as a lack of transparency for career opportunities, with progression sometimes based on connections rather than merit. Ageism is also a concern, leading to the loss of experienced staff. The HR department was criticized by some reviewers, and the hospital is often short-staffed. Employees sometimes struggle with juggling regular and unexpected demands at work. Some reviewers felt that the rostering in the past year was not family-friendly, and low nurse morale on certain wards can create a difficult and unfriendly working environment. Educating all employees was also mentioned as a potential challenge.

    It seemed a great workplace at the beginning until I recognised it's many problems and the culture was becoming toxic.
    The good thingsSome very good and dedicated staff. Growing organising bringing new specialties and hence career and learning opportunities. Library factilites, and the library staff helpful.
    The challengesLack of transparency for career opportunites, tend to progress or give opportunities based on connections rather than on capability and merit. Ageism is developing, thus losing very experienced staff. Not a good HR dept. Always short-staffed.

    I always looked forward to going to work and especially I was employed by an agency for 15 months it was a shame to end. I wish I could go back as I was a pro collector and highly experienced in the field
    The good thingsWe were like true family, we always celebrate birthdays or special occasions, the staff are great.
    The challengesWe opened the existing pathology outside anti natal clinic for GGT, if anyone else would go there if they were busy in pathology on lower ground floor.
