Pros

The pay and benefits are fantastic! I just received a 9.8% raise, part of which was a cost of living increase and part of which was performance based, but together it was 9.8%. Typically John Muir does not pay cost of living increases, but I think they know the job market is tight and they want to hang onto talent right now. Plus we received a Share of Success bonus last month which was the largest one that I have ever received and I have worked at John Muir for 11 years. They are flexible with your schedule and the do not micromanage employees which actually allows employees to flourish!

Cons

I think they have gone far too "woke" and "extreme left", and push the agenda down your throat. And they have become quite opinionated about it. Just recently, the "Senior Leadership" sent out an internal email in regards to Roe Vs. Wade being overturned. Within the email there was a statement "We believe that health care decisions are best left to the patient and healthcare provider ... These are personal choices that we will continue to honor and support ...." . This is an obvious political opinion, and for an employer that employs thousands of people from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, I was shocked that Senior Leadership would be ok putting out such a statement. And many of my colleagues have shared similar sentiments. Being inclusive is a good thing, but like all good things, too much of it becomes bad, and they appear to have lost sight of that. As a simple example, the cafeteria, which has always been fabulous, now insists on having themed food days where ALL of the food served is from a certain culture. And quite frankly, there are certain cultural cuisines that very few employees like! On those days, the cafeteria is deserted! Which not only reduces the amount of money the cafeteria brings in (they have to make money too, like any business), and the employees that count on the convenience of the cafeteria for lunch or dinner end up having to purchase pre-packaged food instead or Door Dash food or bring food from home (which of course is the healthiest choice but not always convenient).

John Muir Health Response

Dear Employee: Thank you for expressing your thoughts and concerns, and for giving 5 stars to John Muir Health as a place to work. John Muir Health welcomes and encourages employee feedback regarding senior leadership as well as the work environment and cafeteria. We respectfully disagree with your characterization that John Muir Health is becoming “woke”, “extreme left” and pushing a political agenda. On the contrary, we are prioritizing our belonging and equity work to make John Muir Health a place in which every employee, provider, patient and community member can feel like they belong. We believe our recent listening session on the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Center decision was evidence of our well-rounded and inclusive approach to creating safe spaces for the exchange of ideas, regardless of which side of the issue participants found themselves. We encourage you and all of our employees and providers to participate in future listening sessions, during which a wide range of opinions are shared in a respectful environment. The sessions have consistently been praised for their ability to widen perspectives and foster a greater understanding of complex issues. We appreciate your kind words about the quality of the cafeteria food. When culturally-themed dishes are provided on a certain day, our cafeterias continue to provide many other options, including hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, quesadillas or grilled cheese. We also have pizza, grab and go sandwiches, a full salad bar with a deli bar component, and the soup(s) of the day. Thank you for your compliments about John Muir Health’s competitive pay and benefits. We appreciate your feedback and service to our patients, community and John Muir Health.
