Pros

The people are nice and good to work with, and the facilities are kept pretty clean and up to date.

Cons

The role itself is very tough and gives me anxiety - something to think about if you are very affected by experiences with people who can become aggressive very quickly. The pay is low for what we do.

Thank for you recommending Tanner Health System. As you know, we provide our patients with award-winning care, and our corporate leaders consistently receive various local and national recognitions. We assume your experience with immediate care led to some of your cons. We provide an EAP program to offer solutions for health issues such as depression and anxiety. We also encourage employees to speak with their managers when feeling overwhelmed. You also mentioned “low pay” without indicating the job you do. We regularly look at comparative jobs in our region in terms of pay scale, and we review all employees annually, with increases based on both employee and department goals and performance.

Pros

The organization has a strong mission and serves an important role in the local community. Many employees are deeply committed to their work and care about doing the right thing for patients and colleagues. This can be a place to gain experience and build foundational skills for individuals early in their careers or those seeking stability.

Cons

Opportunities for professional growth and advancement are limited, particularly for employees who remain with the organization long term. Career pathways and promotion criteria were not always clear or applied consistently, which made advancement challenging. Leadership decision-making did not consistently incorporate input from internal subject-matter experts, which at times slowed progress and limited the effectiveness of improvement efforts. Accountability at higher levels of leadership appeared uneven, while expectations remained high for frontline and mid-level staff. Compensation was below market for several roles, including leadership positions, making retention difficult. HR processes related to hiring, compensation, and employee relations lacked transparency and consistency, which impacted trust and morale.
