I honestly don’t have any bad things to say about this place. The ratios, co-workers, environment, and scheduling are pretty hard to beat.

The only pros I could think of is resigning from my contract at will and not giving them any notice of quitting!
I worked in the Sterile Processing Department (SPD) at Ohio State University Hospital and Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (New Tower) for about 13 months. I decided to quit after 13 months along with 4 other new employees due to SPD leadership creating a toxic work environment for all of us Instrument Coordinators. From my experience working in both hospitals, SPD leadership seemed very disconnected from the day-to-day realities faced by Instrument Coordinators work . There was a strong emphasis on meeting operating room demands, which often resulted in increased workloads, adding more responsibilities for Instrument Coordinator staff and not caring or valuing Instrument Coordinator staff opinions. At times, this made it difficult to maintain a healthy work-life balance. I was always feeling overworked every end of the week, never rotated me, worked in decontamination everyday, my opinions to them didn’t matter and they would even make your work harder if you shared an opinion they did not agree about. I also observed a relatively high turnover rate among SPD Instrument Coordinators quitting during my time working there in as little as 3 months or 4 months which is a reflection of the toxic work environment the SPD leadership created for all of us. While the role provides valuable experience, I felt that improvements could be made in employee support, workload management, rotating workers and compensation. Overall, the compensation is not worth all of their expectations, SPD leadership doesn’t care about your opinion, they will use you for their own gain and if your a new employee, be ready to be overworked, under appreciated and not valued whatsoever. I would not recommend anyone experienced or new to work in neither hospital.
