Pros

The best part of working a Ballad is the people. Even the larger hospitals have a small hospital family feel. The staff is team oriented and the managers care about the teams they work with. We take good care of each other. The benefits package is very good. Low premiums for health insurance and a generous paid time off plan. Ballad also offers a retirement plan with a company match on the employee's dollars invested. From the top down, leadership cares about the team and providing the best care possible to patients and their families.

Cons
