St. Luke's Magic Valley Medical Center Reviews

Pros

Work in the healthcare industry provides stability. Great patients! Generally supportive work environment. Fair pay, but differing expectations within a role create wage discrepancies. Moderate work-life balance. Reasonably flexible with scheduling. Clean, well-kept work environment. Education benefits have some flaws and gaps, but still a nice thought.

Cons

Job expectations vary wildly from department to department, which means some people in a role are doing 10% of what you’re doing for the same pay. Expectations are also ambiguous because of this, which blurs the lines between providing excellent patient care and overstepping your role. St Luke’s motto seems to be “do more with less”. If they can get one manager to oversee 4 clinics instead of hiring an additional manager they will do it. If you can manage the workflows for the entire clinic for 2 days, you can probably do it for 2 years. If you can do it for 2 years, they probably don’t need to hire anyone. Chronic under-staffing leads to burnout, but middle-level management is also burnt out so there’s no one to fix it. Your experience will also vary wildly from office to office. Some providers are kind and easygoing and some are micromanagers. Unclear culture due to management and provider guidance that varies by department. Lots of talk about diversity and inclusion when it comes to patients, but decidedly less support when it comes to employees.

Pros

Awesome group to work with Administrattion is very engaged

Cons

Located in the middle of nowhere

Pros

Small and behind the industry boom enough to get your foot in the door easily and get certifications later. Certification reimbursements, nice, newish facility in a safe area, small town feel

Cons

You'll beg for what you're owed, charged your own PTO for holidays, extremely unprofessional leadership in Sterile Processing. The many women in the department work themselves silly while male supervisors favor the handful of male peers who are consistently unproductive. They put people in positions of power who have no life experience to be used as puppets by those with tenure. Consistently understaffed, especially 3rd shift. If someone is off, their shift will not be covered because "incentive pay" plus overtime and differentials are too costly...so everyone else suffers. Too small to advance/no room to grow.

Pros

Great teamwork Professional staff Excellent system support

Cons

Not ideal for commuters in the winter.

Pros

Had a great Life-Work Balance. Management listened and was genuinely concerned for their employee's. St Lukes Has a great values system and treats employee's equally and fairly.

Cons

The only Con I can think of specific to my position was that we were required to see every single patient that was admitted whether it be for observation or for a full blown admit. I did not think that this was necessary. I think this coud have been handled differently.
