Pros

I worked at a facility in Alaska that is no longer affiliated with Banner. That facility had its own issues separate from Banner. The good it did provide was some structure to what was originally an independent venture.

Cons

We were being paid Colorado rates (according to local HR). Colorado, where I lived prior, has a MUCH lower cost of living compared to Alaska. I was one of two managers in the entire facility that had a Bachelors degree. Most people had worked there 20 or more years and were completely unqualified for the positions they held. But since they'd been there so long they got promoted. Little support for facilities outside of Arizona. The focus was one growth and capturing as much of the market as possible. Many of my employees actually made significantly more money than me just because of longevity

Pros

This review isn't about the pros of working for Banner Medical Group.

Cons

The last couple of years with BMG, many current and former leaders have encountered ongoing challenges related to the senior leadership team's (Ops Directors and above) behavior and accountability. Expectations and disciplinary actions are not applied consistently, and when disciplinary actions are applied, it is retaliatory for speaking up about these inconsistencies. This has created a culture of distrust and fear between the clinic leadership teams and Ops Directors/Senior Ops Directors. It also goes against Banner's "If you see something, say something" campaign. The HR team has also contributed to the growing fear and distrust by not following their own guidelines, and by the ERC's showing their bias against leaders through their tone of voice when talking with you, baseless accusations against leadership, and approving corrective actions that are vague and missing specific details of the incident that someone is being written up for. It also raises concerns amongst clinic leaders when multiple leaders bring forward the same concerns and issues about Ops Directors over a lengthy period of time and we're told, "we couldn't corroborate your concerns." And when multiple leaders provide ample evidence (Chronological Management Records, Teams chats, email chains, etc.) to disprove these false accusations and you're still placed into corrective action, the word corruption starts to become applicable.
