Pros

The job itself is great. I put every ounce of effort into my work knowing that others, especially, patients will benefit from it.

Cons

There is definitely an unfairness in compensation between male and female for the same type and workload. Most of the time women in the male dominate departments are required to take on 15% to 30% more work then the the male counterpart with less pay. Management is poor. The immediate managers don’t speak up or willing to listen to proposed changes to increase efficiency. Some facilities' upper management has no clue as to what they're doing and lack essential communication skills. That's what happens when focusing on only hiring from within the company. The educational reimbursement program is just too long of a process and will only reimburse for job related classes at specific colleges. A panel of people get to make the decision whether your field of interest is essential to Banner Health, so there is very prospect in exploring other field of interest.

Pros

I worked with some of the most dedicated and intelligent, committed physicians, nurses, and staff at Banner. Almost none of them lasted more than 5 years and left. Great place to work if you are an administrator.

Cons

This company has one rule, and that is the business plan put forth by Senior Management/Board which is profit ahead of people. The mission statement is lip service, and the company sells hard. Think cult. I have watched them lie to the Phoenix community about what they provide. Despite sitting in on dozens of meetings over multiple years, attempting to educate management on what is necessary to be successful, I and others finally decided to leave the company when it was apparent they didn't care. If you are a health professional (doc, nurse, extender) - expect to get paid crap and treated like a factory line worker. Don't expect autonomy or independent thinking. Find another place to work. It can't be said any more plainly. If you don't believe it, talk to those that have left to get the truth. If you are an administrator, you will be golden. If you drink the coolaid, you will be promoted, no matter how incompetent or non-knowledgeable you may be. If you are happy just punching a clock and being told how you will provide care, and even what you may or may not say - then you'll fit right in. Anyone on Glassdoor who says this is a great company to work for should be viewed with suspicion.

Pros

System is doing well with revenue growth and maximizing net income. Very good investment is made in to the purchase of new and replacement assets. The system's vision for growth is ambitious.

Cons

Top to bottom communication lacks clarity and granular reasoning for decisions which affect employees, hourly staffing in particular. No raises in the past two years despite profitable operations does not make sense to many employees. Patient to nurse ratios is undefined and can be as high as 7:1.
