Pros

If available to your role there is the option of working remotely. Banner is one of the few companies to successfully role out a work from home option.

Cons

My biggest issue with Banner is their lack of transparency and the trust they ask you to put into them. If you are at a hospital that is being merged with, beware. There will be layoffs every couple of months that will be taken over by their corporate offices. Don't fall for the false promises that you'll be rewarded if you show you are "flexible" and stick it out. Banner recently acquired and merged with University of Arizona Health Network - University of Arizona Medical Center. The merge was unique because it formed a new division called Banner University Medicine. Unfortunately, Banner does not have a good understanding of academic medicine. This is causing issues as they try to role out their workflows and systems that might work in a non-academic setting, but does not accommodate the uniqueness of academic medicine. Having my entire team outsourced, Banner's lack of meaningful/truthful communication, and Banner's approach to academic medicine is why I am giving the company a poor score.

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.
