Pros

You'll gain real-world experience at spotting liars and sociopaths.

Cons

The company is a monopoly with no competition of any kind within a 200 mile radius. One nurse is supposed to treat 5 patient rooms for an entire shift!?!? The benefits and compensation at Ballad are horrible. Nurses are paid a subpar wage ($40K) to keep the multi-million executives in their cushy offices. Layoffs and reductions in workforce happen without regard to employee performance or tenure. Senior leadership constantly shoots the messenger and doesn't communicate with frontline employees. The Chairman/CEO can't tell the truth if his life depended upon it! Don't be fooled by this horse and pony show! This place is a horrible place to work.

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.
