Nice place to Work

Business Outlook

Pros

Love that the company is very family oriented and understanding when situations occur. There is always the open door policy that seems to be true. Enjoy the people that work with very much but most of the time we are overworked and under payed for everything that is expected of us.

Cons

Salaries are not comparable to other companies and should be reviewed most people are doing the work of two for less than pay of one person. Management is not very forth coming when their are changes till the changes have already been put into effect.(no say on employee end) Departments do not work very well together and continue to try and pass off responsibilities on each other. Needs IT that will stay and work

Business Outlook

Pros

Administration and health care team is dedicated to exceptional patient care. In this decade, SSM frequently has been recognized nationally as a top performer in clinical quality measures Culture and values are reflective of Catholic Christian beliefs. Management genuinely concerned about employees. Benefits and compensation are competitive. Beautiful new hospital campus opened Nov., 2014 with a mission that has not changed: "Through our exceptional health care services, we reveal the healing presence of God."

Cons

As with any large organization, there will be those who detract from the mission and grumble about the people for whom they are responsible for caring for or working with.
