Pros

Good pay, Decent flexebility with schedule, other staff is really friendly and nice. Overall a good time when were not understaffed.

Cons

Bad management and no raises. Nothing positive comes out of their mouth when they need to talk to staff. They only talk to you when something bad happens. They treat people like their just a number and their is no employee security. Management will throw you under the bus whenever possible.

Pros

The pay for even low level jobs is very good. They are usually under staffed everywhere so even if your part time you are likely to get a lot of hours!

Cons

Salem hospital has a horrible turn over rate! If you don't get in with the cliches your more than likely to get fired. They will look for anything reason they can to fire someone. If they don't like you you will not last. If your really great at sucking up and being best friends with the in crowd this would be a great place for you to work! If you like to just go to work and put all your effort into just doing your job I don't suggest working here! The only place you might make it is in creek side dining. There is not much room to move up unless you have a degree I know someone who worked in the same a area for 18 years was one of the best employees they had but they wouldn't even consider her for a supervisor position they brought in a young person who had never worked there before. They told her she had no management experience and she asked how she was supposed to get any if they didn't let her.

Pros

Regardless of how the staff is treated by decisions made in upper management, the staff I worked with were pretty supportive and team players most of the time.

Cons

More often than not they were experiencing short staffing problems and it was very unfortunate for the patients as well as staff. Patients weren't getting the quality of care they were promised by SH's "mission."
