Pros
There are some amazing people who work for Intermountain, and until our current CEO was brought in, I felt that the Senior Management cared about the employees. Intermountain does work hard to provide the best healthcare in Utah.
Cons
Recently (relatively) Intermountain Healthcare's Board of Directors, chaired by Scott Anderson, hired Marc Harrison as the new CEO. Marc, who has no sense of what matters to the people of this state or the history of this company, just started slashing jobs. Several managers were just told to cut as many people as possible, with no sense of what any one individual added to the company. I have seen whole departments and excellent managers (i.e. all Regional Management) fired with little to no notice. Marc might say this is to cut costs, but people should watch their bills—they won't see even a dollar's worth of savings, while thousands of people have lost their jobs. And HR is doing nothing to help all those who are leaving (but most people at Intermountain hate the HR department from day one on the job.). These are real people with real families, while Marc is paid well over a million every year (the most recent 990 hasn't been made public so this is a very educated guess since the last CEO was paid over a million, and Marc believes that he is extremely valuable to the company. Scott Anderson will probably give Marc a huge bonus for destroying the livelihood of thousands of Utahns.) And those of us who are left, have just been told to take on all of the duties of those who left. I am one of a few left in a department they just destroyed, and I don't think the manager who cut everyone else had even a clue as to the essential functions the others did. Some great strides forward were being made, and now they're gone and no one will even know what could have been.
