Pros

The environment is largely friendly and collegial--there are many good people who work at SelectHealth. The changing and evolving industry should provide lots of opportunity for new thinking--if leadership can muster the courage to allow it. The company, due largely to the strength of parent company Intermountain, is incredibly stable. I genuinely don't know what it would take to be fired or laid-off from SelectHealth.

Cons

Its history of being owned by the Church is still far too apparent. The company is largely patriarchal and lacks diversity--in every sense of the word (diversity of race and culture, diversity of thought, etc.). this is becoming more of a problem as the world and the workforce evolve. Opportunities for growth are non-existent. There is no consideration for career pathing, advancement, or skill development. And there are arcane rules surrounding holding leadership positions--you must possess a degree to be a manager, you must possess a masters to be a director, regardless of skill or professional experience. It is, again, a throwback to a long extinct era.

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.
