Pros

Relatively competitive pay Umm I cant think of another positive aspect of employment at SSM.

Cons

This company will flat out LIE when recruiting. I moved across the country to an absolutely dreadful state in an attempt to further my career w SSM and have yet to receive a single training course or responsibility that I was promised by the regional director during my final interview, their reasoning is "well things and budgets change."

Pros

Paid for 2 sets of scrubs for every new hire and even provided for the additional costs in order to have mine special ordered due to being such a petite person.

Cons

They changed their policies in the middle of 90 day probationary period. They changed it to that they no longer accepted doctor’s notes from anyone to excuse calling out from work. So you had to go no matter what or there would be consequences. I’m not sure what those would be for those not in their 90 days. But if you called out from work 2 times in your 90 days, you get fired. I missed one day for the having the flu and then the second time for having a MISCARRIAGE!!!! I assumed i’d be fired. Expected to pick up my belongings the next day. They told me that they thought I was coming in to still work. I took that as I wasn’t fired. This was a Monday I called out. They had me work the whole week. They waited until Friday at the end of clinic after the last patient left to fire me.

Pros

- Strong mission and values - Decent benefits - health, dental, vision, 403b - PTO - 24 days annually, incudes vacation, sick, and holidays

Cons

- Difficult to move up in the corporate space unless located in the St. Louis Area - As a not for profit organization, they run very lean. You may be picking up the slack of others permanently when they leave the organization. With the COVID furloughs and layoffs in 2020, team members were not replaced while those still employed were doing the job of 2-3 people with no pay increases. - As a WFH employee, work life balance is non-existent. - Resources are limited to do your job efficiently. - Pay is typically lower than their competitors, especially within the clinical space - Increases only happen in May, and are between 2-3% of your annual salary. - Bonuses are only available to employees at the VP level or above - Ideas and improvements are listened to by leadership, but impactful change is rarely made. - Within one year (2021), over 70% of the recruitment team left the organization. Those left were given little to no support by senior leadership. If that's not a red flag for anyone looking at joining this organization, I don't know what is.
