Pros
Banner Health has 23 Hospitals and over 35,000 employees in seven states. Banner Health's focus is on quality care that is fiscally responsible. Patient and staff satisfaction scores are high and trending upward. The pay for Nurses in AZ is almost double what Nurses make in NC. Banner University Medical Center - Phoenix is the Flagship Hospital of the System and it is a Magnet and a Teaching Hospital so you get the feeling of cutting edge education, technology and support. BUMC-P (The former Banner Good Samaritan) Behavioral Health has supportive management. The staff has decades of experience. Physicians, managers, the RN's and BHT's are willing to share their knowledge and experience with colleagues and patients. Overall, this is a great place to work.
Cons
Traffic into downtown Phoenix (BUMC-P) is horrible and unpredictable. Traffic flow moves well around the campus, though. The aesthetics of most of the hospital common areas are very dated and not family friendly. Cleanliness, paint, flooring and pharmacy service could all be improved.
