Worked there for 2.5 yrs as a traveler and 9 months as a regular employee...it was not fancy as I expected it to be. Not a bad place to work but politics is just awful there. Stay a traveler there before you decide to sign on as regular staff.

HollywoodDiva 104 Posts Aug 21, 2012 Cedars is known for not getting back to you promptly. Call --------- just to check your status...it never hurts to call...she sometimes doesn't get back to you at all so it's your responsibility to check.
Elohies 13 Posts Aug 27, 2012 Seriously..this is a loooong wait! I've called -------'s office numerous times and she never picks up. I left her a voicemail and she never returned my call. I've emailed her once and she did get back to me so I'll email her today and see what happens. I just think it's inappropriate and unprofessional to not call back or reply to people's emails, especially when they're inquiring about a position they've interviewed for. Some sort of reply or some information would be nice...
