Pros

The people at work at Scripps generally care about the patients and work hard. I have heard that if you work at the sites and not at corporate, it is more inspiring.

Cons

Interesting that when there are negative comments in a row there are immediately generic, positive comments added above them and those are the ones Scripps responds to. This is definitely a pattern I have seen in the reviews... pretty "convenient" if you ask me. They are going through layoffs and people are writing what an amazing company it is... Do not work at Scripps if you want to push the envelope and be innovative within the scope of healthcare. You will get shot down. The leadership tends to be threatened by younger talent and is unwilling to alter the existing processes unless you possess a title worthy of influence. Favorites are apparent and they are not necessarily the most talented people. In fact, usually they are the people that fit into the Scripps mold of not rocking the boat. Or they are from USC. The more you work there the more you see what is behind the curtain of great marketing. There is a bit of the 1% vs. 99% issue going on. Management still gets massive bonuses despite layoffs, and the fact that the lower employees get nothing. Seems unbalanced. The rich get richer....

Pros

Honestly, the only real positives were the beautiful location near Torrey Pines and the incredible coworkers I built strong relationships with—dedicated, hardworking people who truly support one another.

Cons

If I could give Scripps a negative rating, I would. I’m in my mid-30s and have worked in multiple health systems across the U.S., and this was by far the worst experience I’ve had—largely due to the leadership culture. I frequently worked well beyond my job scope because of inadequate departmental support (functioning as the data analyst for the department, even though that was not my hired position). Despite consistently going above and beyond—essentially functioning as a team of one in a role that typically has 2–3 staff at other centers—my efforts were neither recognized nor valued. Instead, I was often talked down to and disrespected. To make matters worse, I worked as a team of one and was expected to “show up as a leader” without the title, compensation, authority, or respect to match. Over my year there, I experienced unprofessional behavior, including leadership accidentally sending me text messages gossiping about me with inaccurate information, with no apology to follow. When I raised concerns, I was told, “I don’t want to hear about this anymore.” When I requested time off due to burnout after a denied PTO request, I was told there was “no reason” for me to feel burned out and that “all I ever do is complain.”
