Pros of working at Sanford Health

Enjoyed working with patients and coworkers in MRI. Learned alot about different MRI scans which made me a better scheduler. Generally good pay and benefits.

Cons of working at Sanford Health

Clicky culture in Radiology, I experienced sabotage from some co workers there only to be validated verbally by one member of my management team that in fact this was going on. A bad manager can ruin a good employee, as in my case.

Sanford Health benefits

The pride of working for Sanford in the early days. In the MRI setting, the coworkers were family. Watched out for and supported each other.

What do you like best about Sanford Health's CEO and the leadership team?

At MRI he cared about his employees, asked for feedback at times and supported his employees.

How would you improve Sanford Health's culture?

I get its a business but when you treat employees like they are important and matter, you seem to get alot more work out of them and happy employee as well.

How did you prepare for the Sanford Health interview?

Learning as much about Sanford that I could. Prepared myself regarding possible questions about the role I was applying for, with a smile and positive attitude as I thoroughly enjoyed my job.

How does your compensation at Sanford Health compare to the industry average?

Sanford is the largest employer in the area because their reach is everywhere now, which I helped build that reach but great customer service and Patient experience but now its so big that staffing in all departments are short handed. Smaller facilities can't compete with compensation.

What's the diversity at Sanford Health like?

I think they were maybe not as diverse in the beginning but now that it has become very diverse I think it has created unintended consequences. Staff don't seem to be trained as well and I see communication barriers and the frustration in the patient base.

What brings you the most joy at Sanford Health?

Working, greeting and checking in patients. Bringing the best patient experience I can provide.

Cons of working at Sanford Health

More cons than pros in the communication field. For being a healthcare company, the insurance should be WAY better than what is offered. No room to advancement and micro managers.

Pros of working at Sanford Health

Great leadership, tools to do my job and ability to self manage without micro-management. The ability to work from home on rotating shifts.

Cons of working at Sanford Health

Maybe the physical environment could be better but since we have rotating shifts with working in office and from home it has been a better experience.

Sanford Health benefits

Good 401k, lots of location based discounts at stores.
