Avantages
Intermountain Health Care is largest healthcare provider (monopoly) in several states so there are many choices of jobs, facilities and locations to choose from. Healthcare benefits are decent, opportunities to take a limited number of classes such as Excel, Microsoft Office, etc. are available. Hospital environments are very friendly and cafeteria food is good and discounted for employees. Primary Children's Hospital is a notably outstanding facility. Matching 401K funds available, many businesses offer IHC discounts for goods & services. Small bonus at year's end, small yearly raise. Most employees are dedicated to excellent patient care. This is a good company for a starter job, or employment while you're attending school, but would not recommend it for long-term professional development. IHC is very generous in paying for applicable college course work.
Inconvénients
Overall management is 1950's style - totally paternalistic with little awareness of 21st century business protocols. There are no women, persons of color, or even facial hair among the upper echelons of tall, lean, clean-cut, white males. The blandness of corporate thinking is pervasive. Promotions appear to be settled before applications or interviews are accepted. If you are not sucking up or in the in-group, you will not get promoted. The corporation is devoted to outward appearance of a wholesome, above-reproach organization while totally avoiding a good hard look at the well-being of thousands of their $8 - $14 per hour employees. Employee feedback is not valued. Once a year a Gallup poll of employee attitudes is taken and assessed, but there is no follow-up when a supervisor/manager gets very bad responses.
