Pros

I loved working with most of my teammates, who have since become close friends.

Cons

Most toxic and discriminatory work environment I have ever worked in. Members of the same team are held to different standards, as this is an organization where double standards are a way of life. Weak clinicians who lack both clinical competence and integrity are valued, while strong clinicians (particularly women) who advocate for patients are penalized. Team members also have no voice, especially when it comes to decisions regarding who should be hired into leadership positions. Lateral violence is not only tolerated, but fully supported, even by Human Resources. Bottom line, this is an organization that neglects to put patient safety first, by retaining dangerous clinicians and pushing out strong ones.

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.
