WellSpan Health reviews

True innovation at WellSpan is stifled in large part for three reasons: 1) Homegrown VPs/SVPs responsible for aspects of the business for which they are unprepared. Leadership recruited from outside of WellSpan and the healthcare industry often encounter resistance and/or passive aggressive hostility when they attempt to implement new processes and programs. Many VPs use their title as currency to prove they know more than their newly hired experts--even if said VP has never had one day of experience in the new hire's area specialty (apparently reading a few articles and throwing around a few buzzwords is enough). 2) Personality is often prized over performance. Having alternate opinions than your VP/SVP, even when expressed respectfully and in the context of making smart business decisions often gets you marked as a troublemaker, while those who are overly agreeable (IMO) and reflect the preferred image projected by the VP/SVP are showered with praise, promotions and plum projects.

Cheap! They don't pay anyone to market rates except the top dogs. At least 20-30% less salary than Baltimore County, MD for the work-a-day folks. That includes doctors, you're going to be well under the 50th percentile with above median hours/coverage expected. Also a strange culture, they are more concerned with marketing themselves and their brand name versus actual quality and high levels of performance. The C-suite folks think they can do no wrong, so if you're not one of them you are wasting time and energy having an opinion.
