Pros

Supportive coworkers and the use of Epic as the EHR.

Cons

Retirement match only deposited once per year instead of each pay period. This means less potential for gains in your own retirement account on that money throughout the year. And if you leave before the annual match, you forfeit an entire year's worth of company match. Pay is not at market level. In departments that are primarily remote, we are competing for talent among more prestigious orgs and also larger markets with much higher pay. It is nearly impossible to retain talent that isn't local and already accustomed to the lower wages (that have only become more stagnant since the merger). PTO (which includes vacation, holidays, and the first 3 days of illness leave) accrues at a much slower rate than other similarly sized organizations.

Pros

I worked with some great people who genuinely cared about their jobs. I gained valuable experience in healthcare operations, analytics, and reporting.

Cons

My experience with Ballad Health was extremely disappointing due to the workplace culture within my department. I experienced what felt like a highly cliquish environment where favoritism appeared to influence how employees were treated. My manager’s leadership style felt hostile, and I often felt undervalued, unsupported, and treated differently from employees who were part of a preferred inner circle. I also felt that personal characteristics influenced workplace interactions, which contributed to an uncomfortable and discouraging work environment.
