Pros

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

Cons

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.

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.

Stay as far away as you can

Pros

The employee benefits and compensations were great. They lulled you to sleep of what was actually going on.

Cons

The leadership (from the CEO down) shove their progressive ideologies down your throat until you can't breathe. Nothing ever really improves; it's really just one, big, long, exhausting smoke and mirror show to have mid to lower management level people having their teams do busy work under the guise of "problems are golden - lets solve them together", while the executives (which there are many) just make knee-jerk decisions about the direction of the organization. It's incredibly loud in their self-righteous echo chamber. The CEO, a career nurse, needs to step aside and hand the reigns to a competent business executive. The politics in that place rival our broken congress.
