Pros

Not a single one other then the pay (which many other jobs offer that same pay for less headache)

Cons

Horrible management that talks down to people like they are children. They have a terrible attendance policy too. If you find a new job, theyll take back everything that was contributed to your benefits. The training was horrible and if you ever have to call for assistance on a 1 off situation, the leads will treat you like trash for asking for help. This is the worst place I've ever worked at and I see why the turnover is so huge. In less then 4 months my entire training class had enough and quit one by one. There are so many other company's out there that have better pay and treat you with respect. Sutter is not one of them.

Pros

Leadership trainings, conferences, educational opportunities, Senior leadership seems to respond to employee feedback, Great organizational transparency and clarity around goals and direction, Front-line leadership receiving recognition more often, Fair (not amazing) compensation and benefits overall, Organization seems to be healthy and growing which is encouraging for job security and retention.

Cons

Unsustainable front-line leadership expectations, responsibilities, and tasks without providing support from supervisors or assistant managers specifically in San Francisco campuses, High burnout risk among front-line leaders which is continuing to increase, Growing list of contradicting or conflicting priorities. Patient experience scores have improved greatly in SF but patient quality/safety and employee satisfaction has become the apparent cost of that, Very unreasonable span of control for front-line leaders, i.e. way too many direct reports, Meeting metrics and KPIs at all costs is the message being received. Front-line leaders are left scrambling to reach the data points (regardless of the methods), to get there. In other words, we might be meeting the metrics and KPIs on paper, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the real purpose or reason behind those metrics is being performed. We’re just desperate to keep our jobs, The leadership culture in the last 6-9 months has shifted towards motivation through fear. Fear of losing our jobs or bonuses rather than motivation by providing actual daily support in doing our jobs and genuine concern and encouragement to succeed.
