Pros

B. E. Smith takes value in their employees, and gives them all the resources necessary to be successful. They truly make a difference in healthcare, and are improving hospitals and hospital leaders all over the nation. It is an honor to work for such a modern, and sophisticated organization. They go above and beyond for their candidates and clients.

Cons

No complaints with this organization.

Interim leadership with a major twist

Pros

the interim VP of interim leadership is the gold star of what a project director should be. The interim leadership role takes one out of the overall political mine field that is rampant in health care. You are the "fixer' when you enter the organization. Most of the time, you are seen as the expert and this can be extremely rewarding and motivating.

Cons

When I began working with BE Smith, each consultant was seen as a creme de la creme employee. However, BE Smith has become very prescriptive in their policies...with a great amount of "do not do this or that" instead of motivating their associates. The project directors are more interested in "selling" the BE Smith product, instead of supporting those who make this company successful. The benefits are weak, there appears to be favoritism over who is assigned positions, and the concept of pairing up the client with the appropriate candidate has gone by the wayside. The mantra appears to be....get someone into that position so BE Smith can start getting paid. You are not paid for excellence, and there is little information about why and if there is an increase. Most of us do interim work because we enjoy the challenge and the opportunity to see so many different processes...and take the best to each of our assignments. BE Smith has forgotten that we are what makes this company successful

Pros

B. E. Smith is an employer of choice. There are multiple long-term employees who are extremely grateful for the opportunities provided. There is a great generational mix - both those right out of college to those who have been in senior level positions in hospitals across the nation.

Cons

Excellence is expected. It is okay to make mistakes, but you are expected to produce. This company is not for people who are looking to just clock time.
