Cons

Low census means you’ll be off without pay - weather closure -off without pay All sick leave, vacation out of same bank of leave No time off for holiday with pay- must use your own leave - even for major holidays like Christmas! Almost no flexibility if you work full time with hours 8-5 no matter what Hard to take off if you are sick, no one to cover your job responsibilities

Pros

SSM Health is truly mission-driven, and you feel that purpose in our day-to-day work. The culture honestly feels like family - people are supportive, collaborative, and genuinely care about each other. Leadership encourages us to share our story, and there's a real excitement in doing that because our Mission is something we all believe in.

Cons

The pace can be fast and ever-changing, but the strong sense of community and purpose makes the work incredibly rewarding.
