Pros

I worked with some of the most dedicated and intelligent, committed physicians, nurses, and staff at Banner. Almost none of them lasted more than 5 years and left. Great place to work if you are an administrator.

Cons

This company has one rule, and that is the business plan put forth by Senior Management/Board which is profit ahead of people. The mission statement is lip service, and the company sells hard. Think cult. I have watched them lie to the Phoenix community about what they provide. Despite sitting in on dozens of meetings over multiple years, attempting to educate management on what is necessary to be successful, I and others finally decided to leave the company when it was apparent they didn't care. If you are a health professional (doc, nurse, extender) - expect to get paid crap and treated like a factory line worker. Don't expect autonomy or independent thinking. Find another place to work. It can't be said any more plainly. If you don't believe it, talk to those that have left to get the truth. If you are an administrator, you will be golden. If you drink the coolaid, you will be promoted, no matter how incompetent or non-knowledgeable you may be. If you are happy just punching a clock and being told how you will provide care, and even what you may or may not say - then you'll fit right in. Anyone on Glassdoor who says this is a great company to work for should be viewed with suspicion.

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.
