Long hours, low pay, no lunch breaks. It's all about keeping managers happy and patients happy. Employees don't matter. - Registered Nurse Ballad Health Employee Review

Pros

Staff is great to work with and treat you like family. Most of the staff are focused on patients and their care.

Cons

Can never find supplies you need to do your job. Never get raises. Cannot move up unless you are friends with someone..promotions are based on loyalty and who you know, not skill set or personality. Managers stalk your Facebook page during work hours to see if you are saying anything bad about them or their friends.

Pros

Supportive coworkers and the use of Epic as the EHR.

Cons

Retirement match only deposited once per year instead of each pay period. This means less potential for gains in your own retirement account on that money throughout the year. And if you leave before the annual match, you forfeit an entire year's worth of company match. Pay is not at market level. In departments that are primarily remote, we are competing for talent among more prestigious orgs and also larger markets with much higher pay. It is nearly impossible to retain talent that isn't local and already accustomed to the lower wages (that have only become more stagnant since the merger). PTO (which includes vacation, holidays, and the first 3 days of illness leave) accrues at a much slower rate than other similarly sized organizations.
