Pros

Some of the most amazing people work here. You feel like you are truly making a difference. I loved their health incentive with a 100 dollar bonus. They provide pretty good benefits with a matched 401k.

Cons

Also some of the worst people work here. There was a lot to learn but I didn’t get the training to match all the rules and procedures. When I made a mistake I was made fun of and publicly humiliated. It was also really clicky like we were in high school. The night shift would have your back if you worked with them but if not they would gossip about how the others never do anything right. There was just a lot of back stabbing and bad mouthing others and management. Also if you want to get time off you will be extremely hard pressed to get your shifts covered. No one wants to work. One of the upper management nurses disliked it so much he would do two 16 hour shifts in a row just to get his hours over with for the week. You are on call sometimes as well. This was a pretty crazy place to work and getting there at 5:30 am to work a 12 hour shift was rough but I enjoyed working with the patients. I just couldn’t handle the negativity from the coworkers. Some amazing people worked there and really cared. Others had an inferiority complex and felt the need to belittle others to feel important.

Pros

There are many mission-driven caregivers who genuinely care about patients and want to provide high-quality behavioral health support. I appreciated the opportunity to work in an area connected to telehealth, crisis response, and access to care. The work itself can be meaningful, and I believe many employees are trying to do the right thing for patients and communities.

Cons

In my experience, the department culture was not psychologically safe. Feedback and performance concerns were not handled in a way that was clear, consistent, or supportive. I left feeling that the performance process was more punitive than developmental, and I did not feel meaningfully supported by leadership or HR during a difficult employment transition. The experience affected my emotional well-being and made me much more cautious about workplace culture and management practices.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. At Intermountain Health, we’re always working to keep communication open and meaningful across all levels of the organization. We’ve built in several ways for caregivers and leaders to stay connected and share feedback, like 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins during onboarding, regular team huddles, and quarterly meetings. These touchpoints are designed to create space for real conversations and collaboration. Additionally, we believe that a culture of well-being for all caregivers is foundational to our ability to deliver on our mission of helping people live the healthiest lives possible. Caregivers are at the heart of what we do, which is why we have invested in and implemented several programs and resources to help caregivers enhance their physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial health. It’s important that every caregiver feels secure, supported, and safe, both at home and at work. Your thoughts will be shared with our teams as we continue to learn and move forward together.
