Pros

Pay scale is very comparable to other hospitals in the system. At the Salmon Creek Medical Center they have made every effort to ensure they hire pleasant personalities. Coworkers get along very well so far. This is slowly changing as management missteps are leading to discord in the ranks.

Cons

Lets review: 3 MILLION dollar fine for not ensuring lunch breaks from the Oregon Labor and Industry; the Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center is laying off all RTs and having them rebid for their positions. Some old timers are now offered on-call night shift. They have weaponized the method of reporting mistakes instead of using it to correct mistakes. Legacy likes to advertise their "Just Culture". This idea is used very oddly as managers do not hold themselves or their favorites to this standard. Staffing is based on "billable activities" leaving all the little jobs that take much of the shift uncounted. Staffing is a big problem as Legacy wants to balance their books by working us harder. Legacy will not take responsibility for the results of this. It's the workers fault even if there are not enough workers. Benefits have gone down each year I have worked there and more claims are being denied.

Pros

Not much to say anymore.

Cons

My first couple years here, I used to like this place but it's really going downhill fast. They are in the hole financially but instead of cutting pay for the millionaire executives (at a non-profit?!), they are now going to force people to use 2 weeks of leave at Christmas. And if someone doesn't have enough leave, they will be required to take unpaid. This is a "legal" loophole that should be illegal. They also don't believe in merit raises, instead giving a 2% across the board raise regardless of whether the person earns it. Some people work hard, while others barely work, and we all get the same 2% "raise"? This ship is sinking, so get out while you can and avoid at all costs.
