Pros

The hospital as a whole was very welcoming and seems on the outside to have a positive work environment and genuinely puts the patient needs first. Some departments have a positive supportive work culture .

Cons

The work culture under a new Manager was more about being vetted to be in a sorority group rather than being treated as a medical Professional. No onboarding /training. It is secretive and vital instrument data to carry out diagnostic tests is concealed and used as leverage to decide weather you succeed or not.Dangerous for patient safety.Slanderous racist comments about nationality and age. You will be fine here in some departments but in cardiology it depends whether you are invited into the click and fit a certain profile or not. Y You will be bullied out if you don't fit the profile. you are warned! good luck.

Pros

Front line staff genuinely care and are committed to the organization, even though it has changed dramatically for the worse.

Cons

Leadership under new CEO (Longhurst) has quickly become toxic. Long time employees and leaders are exiting quickly. Return to office mandate is going into effect in October 2026 and has caused massive upheaval and unproductive work for months as employees seek answers and get none. This comes after years of successive waves of layoffs and financial struggles that have damaged trust in executive leadership and the board. SCH used to care about mission and now it cares about keeping up with tech company trends and petting CEO’s ego.
