Pros

It's a job. Only work during the week, no weekends. Many nice, hardworking people within the company.

Cons

It's a job ... but they constantly make you feel like you're about to get fired. Constantly signing error reports, as if they are collecting a file of mistakes so they can fire you at any time. If you're in the click, you move up the ranks quickly, others will get nowhere ... you also get more perks in the click. Constantly talked down to. Only raise in years was around $.15 cents. Constantly changing software and programs, creating new scripts, and workflows. Probably the worst job to have at Sutter and the supervisors do nothing to make it better. The pay is far lower than Kaiser, with no unions. People are fired all the time for baseless reasons ... they'll make something up and then fight to keep you from getting unemployment.

Pros

The top-notch professionalism work-culture is what made me decide to switch from a contract-worker to a full-time RN.

Cons

I wish that the N95 mask requirement was included while I was in Chicago in my remote physical and urine drug testing during pre-employment. I had to fly in SF for one day to meet the N95 fit requirement then fly back to Chicago to spend more time with family.

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.
