Pros
My co-workers on my unit as well as my direct supervisors and manager are phenomenal. I couldn't ask for a better team to work with.
Cons
Banner Corporate/Benefits: My family and I moved to AZ from out of state. In researching where I would like to work, I came across Banner Health and saw that they were the biggest hospital system in the Phoenix area. Once I was hired and attended orientation, I was excited. This seemed like a GREAT place to work for. Banner appeared to be a company that is all about supporting it's employees. Almost like a family. When signing up for benefits for my family, I found I was unable to do so. There was an error in Banner's system and we had to wait 2 weeks for it to be corrected. Once corrected I signed up and faxed my dependant paperwork in. A couple weeks later I received an email saying my dependants were denied due to dependant paperwork not being turned in. When I called they said it was too late and I would have to appeal. They told me it would take 30 days to receive an answer. I pleaded with them and wrote my appeal letter. I have 2 small children and a husband with chronic health issues. We couldn't be without insurance. We just found out the appeal was denied. Not only do my dependants not have coverage, I feel completely betrayed by this company that was supposed to be so great to work for. How could a company treat their employees like this? Over a small technicality, they leave my family without health insurance benefits. This is NOT a company that is supportive of their employees. I am ashamed to say I work for Banner Health.
