Intermountain Healthcare Employee Reviews about "intermountain"

Pros

Great people to work with. Strong leadership with forward thinking mentality. Not happy with the status quo. Great benefits.

Cons

There has been a lot of change at Intermountain Healthcare recently. I have been here for 5 years. I still believe in this company despite all of the changes and believe it is doing the right thing now to avoid making tougher decisions later. Many have been impacted by changes recently in our company, including me. But this is a company that has a history of doing the right thing. I believe the changes in the company will make it stronger in the long run. If I didn't, I would not still be here.

Pros

Front line staff and lower lever managers. Working hard to provide for patients and fellow co-workers

Cons

They talk a lot about valuing the employees and occasionally throw you a appreciation crumb. But ultimately they don’t care and worse realize that they don’t care. I’ve heard as well as from others that the have been told multiple times if you don’t like it the leave. Sure makes you feel heard and valued. Only ones being held accountable are the front line and lower level leaders. If you don’t make Mark Harrison, Rob Allen, and others in Senior management look good then you gotta go. And they are turning over way too much. CEO, COO, CPO and VPs have mostly come from outside the community and have no interest other than their personal career growth . They have destroyed the culture that Intermountain once stood for in the community to include its most valued resource. It’s employees.

Pros

It’s a job and with the amount of people quitting, if you get bored you can move around.

Cons

- You can’t move up in the company, just move around. - You’re bombarded with useless emails, meetings and other activities but expected to keep up with your work. - Teams are never fully staffed, because there’s no justification in having enough people, so people are over worked and burnt out. - Peoples jobs are outsourced and find out from the news - IT has been outsourced to India, which is an over glorified secretary the the IT still working in the states who are over worked and still fixing everything since India can’t fix anything. - You can’t request a pay raise, just gotta wait for your annual assessment that is based off of unobtainable goals to get a dismal raise. - No Christmas bonus this year because of policy changes, doubt we’ll ever see one again. - overworked and under paid - don’t speak up, you’ll get in trouble - upper upper management doesn’t listen to you in regards to what’s going on in your position, but when it come down that you were right, they had no idea and the crap show is your fault. - they can’t afford to pay their employees enough, but sure can waste A LOT of money on new programs for things that really didn’t need to be changed and was working just fine. - even though this company owns its own insurance company (select health) most can only afford the high deductible because the premiums hot shot through the roof. - even though it’s one company every single facility basically works out of several different programs that don’t communicate as a whole, so if you update your insurance and you go to several different locations, you need to call all of those locations to make sure they are up to date with your insurance. The list could go on, but all in all Intermountain once was a great company to work for and has drastically gone down hill in the past few years. The company used to listen to its employees and take care of them, because they believed that by taking care of their employees, the patients would receive the best care when they’re feeling their worst. That’s not the case anymore, they have been taking more and more away from employees (especially the ones at the bottom) and it shows when patients get crappy care. If you are passionate in what you do, DON’T work for this company, this is where you come to have your soul and passion crushed.

Pros

Good atmosphere, with dedicated and helpful employees. Pay is decent for the industry Lots of locations to work from and the ability to move to another position after 6 months

Cons

They have discontinued their pension plan this year. They have changed the PTO structure so you earn less PTO. Overall, leadership is stripping away all the benefits that made Intermountain such a great employer.
