Banner Health Reviews

Pros

The Clinical Trials department at Banner Alzheimer’s Institute is a very positive, fun work family. You work independently in the lab mostly doing specimen processing and inventory management. The hours are somewhat flexible and Monday through Friday with no weekends or holidays. There is no daily supervision of phlebotomists. You would just train coworkers interested in learning to draw blood or process specimens. The Clinical trials director will help you achieve your professional goals starting on your first day of work. Management is very open to feedback and asks for it on a regular basis.

Cons

Typical hospital raises and bonuses

Pros

Does frequent evaluations on staff and managers. They keep staff informed in all parts of the business. I feel part of a team.

Cons

We frequently aquire overtime due to providers. I work in family practice, look into 4/10 hour shifts.

Pros

My paychecks still clear the bank

Cons

I have worked for this organization for several years now. I thought as time went on the issues would start to fall away and I would finally hit a groove. Not the case. The turn over of personnel has been horrific. We’ve lost almost half of our experienced engineers in just the past year. When that happens your manager will just dump that guys workload on the people left and expect the same amount of work to be completed. The training has been mediocre at best. As a imaging engineer you would expect to be trained on the systems you work on. Well not at Banner. You are expected to work on everything with little to no training oh and you’re on call and expected to work on the weekends when needed. Banner has now implemented a SOP so that IF they decide to send you to training you will be forced to sign a contract that states you will stay for 2 years or else you will be responsible for paying back the cost of training. Which could possible run 10k-30k or more depending on the modality. Where is the incentive to take on more work???

Pros

Amazing coworkers, direct patient care, highly rewarding area of nursing, yearly raises, three days a week, support from management (at times).

Cons

Support only comes when patient safety is being compromised (not nursing safety), yearly review process puts more work on the staff than management (aka prove you deserve a raise by filling out a paper), and workload is getting heavier and heavier.

Pros

I have been working here since August of 2020 and I have loved almost every moment of it. Everyday I get to see or learn something new. The staff is super friendly and the pay is pretty decent.

Cons

The worst part about working here is when they do call outs and understaff our unit. My unit is constantly down a nurse so every other nurse is having to care for more patients.
