Pros

- The name on your resume. - Educational Assistance and free Caltrain. - The C-I-Care culture is great. - Annual across the board increases - only if you don't have a write up. - Benefits and Wellness Program is good.

Cons

- Only will hire or promote you if you know someone who works in the department. - Very political, in all departments. - Promotes people only if they can't fill the position, so a lot of the times the person who is promoted to that role is not qualified for the position. - Hires you based on your personality. So you can have all the right skills, but if they don't like your personality, you won't get it. If you have none of the skills, but you are bubbly and outgoing, then you go it. - Management does not know how much work their team actually has. - They alter your time card to avoid paying meal penalties. - Under staffed departments - not only in the corporate/business departments, but also short staffed within the hospital. - The shift is M-F, 8am-5pm. There is so much work, and they don't want to hire additional head count, so you may be required to stay till 10pm at night or come in on the weekends. - Employees have so much work to get done, but management does not know their employee's work load and they won't approve OT, so employees will stay and work off the clock to ensure job safety.

Pros

Great colleagues, strong APP support network. I enjoyed working with an excellent team, providing clinical care in a highly respected academic medical center.

Cons

They were unable to fill the lead APP position in my department for several years, leading to management issues. A manager from another department took over. Lots of drama.

Pros

The frontline nursing staff and coworkers are absolutely amazing. They are supportive, resilient, and incredibly hard-working people who pull together to get the job done. Additionally, the compensation and pay rates are highly competitive and a definite strong point of the organization.

Cons

The organization is incredibly top-heavy. There is an excess of management and administrative assistants who lack the necessary clinical leadership, skills, or experience to lead effectively. Instead of supporting staff, leadership frequently engages in micromanagement, power trips, and excessive control tactics. It often feels like these control measures are used as a distraction to hide their own slacking and lack of productivity. Morale in some 300P units is low due to a culture of workplace harassment and staff abuse, causing highly experienced nurses to leave in droves. Because of this high turnover, the units are predominantly staffed by new graduates and desperate nurses who stay just long enough to get their initial experience before putting their heads down and quitting.
