Pros

Good salary. Decent benefits. Clinical staff and regular worker bees are fantastic.

The leadership team is all about politics and making themselves look good,not what is best for the organization and patients. Some unethical things going on there.

good for front line staff - bad place to be in administration

Business Outlook

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.
