Pros

The pay was good, the commute was nice. The lunchroom has great salads. Lots of learning opportunities. Front line staff care about their patients.

Cons

Constant change makes it difficult to know what expectations are to be met. Senior Leaders are focused on Senior Leaders - not patients regardless of the rhetoric used. The Hospital is distrusted by MDs and the community there are good reasons for the mistrust. Salem Health has difficulty in follow through.
