Pros

I enjoyed Banner as a place to get my start in nursing. Great preceptors. Movement into the ICU after one year in the PCU. Fair compensation and shift differentials for a new graduate nurse. PTO and 401K match. Overall, I would recommend Banner UMC Tucson as a place to work.

Cons

I was told by the new graduate HR hiring woman that I had to begin in the PCU because that unit was short staffed even though ICU was where I wanted to begin. Many of my peers with other hiring HR persons were able to start in directly in the ICU. I found out later that the woman who hired me into the PCU no longer worked for the company and I was able to transfer into the CVICU a year after I started.

Pros

This review isn't about the pros of working for Banner Medical Group.

Cons

The last couple of years with BMG, many current and former leaders have encountered ongoing challenges related to the senior leadership team's (Ops Directors and above) behavior and accountability. Expectations and disciplinary actions are not applied consistently, and when disciplinary actions are applied, it is retaliatory for speaking up about these inconsistencies. This has created a culture of distrust and fear between the clinic leadership teams and Ops Directors/Senior Ops Directors. It also goes against Banner's "If you see something, say something" campaign. The HR team has also contributed to the growing fear and distrust by not following their own guidelines, and by the ERC's showing their bias against leaders through their tone of voice when talking with you, baseless accusations against leadership, and approving corrective actions that are vague and missing specific details of the incident that someone is being written up for. It also raises concerns amongst clinic leaders when multiple leaders bring forward the same concerns and issues about Ops Directors over a lengthy period of time and we're told, "we couldn't corroborate your concerns." And when multiple leaders provide ample evidence (Chronological Management Records, Teams chats, email chains, etc.) to disprove these false accusations and you're still placed into corrective action, the word corruption starts to become applicable.
