Employee Reviews for Solaris HealthCare

3 out of 5 stars. Based on 336 reviews

Solaris HealthCare employees report that they have a good work family and enjoy the flexibility of their shifts. They appreciate the benefits like earned time off and the new administrator who is young and not afraid to make decisions for the better. However, they find the pay to be low and the management to be unorganized and hostile. There is also a lack of teamwork and supplies, and the health insurance could be better. Employees suggest that management should work on getting more staff nurses, bring back good bonuses for those who pick up extra shifts, and show value in their employees.
