HR and Leadership failure

Pros

Good employer over all with benefits, hours, pay rate, vision and mission

Cons

Allows bullying from staff and management without consequences. Does not follow policies word for word, allows it open to possible tweeking the policy to taylor to the outcome they wish to happen. Allows harassment and retaliation in the workplace, but preaches over and over that they take things seriously, but still allows it to happen as well as does not support the employees only the leadership and the hospital itself.

Oppressive work environment

Pros

Excellent salary and benefits; worked with some very talented and good-hearted professionals and leaders; very good patient outcomes; many skilled, highly qualified, compassionate front-line employees

Cons

Salem Health’s Darwinistic work environment fosters a dog-eat-dog competitiveness and high turnover at manager and director level. The leadership team frequently uses “restructuring” for personal reasons to move high-performing leaders or professionals out of the organization. Senior executives maintain a veneer of transparency that makes it harder to see machinations for personal enrichment or power. Smart, highly qualified professionals who care about people and the community get out as soon as they can. I've since seen many Salem Health refugees at my current, highly recommended employer, Providence Health & Services.

Pros

The hospital system was something 10 years ago i was so happy to get into.. I went from Marine infantry to medic then into health care working at salem health. I had so much enjoyment taking care of others and listening to their issues and helping them through them.

Cons

This hospital has misplaced their money , has been slowly working on that but in the process, Salem health has crate a place where they only care about the money. We all get into health care to help others and to use our compassion and education to help these people. That has systematically been taking away from us and all they care for is money. there are also too many managers and assistant managers. too many chiefs in the tents. The hospital has so much potential but some restructuring on that management level is needed... the staff can run the place with out you. your all useless entities that do nothing but hurt your staff.
