Pros

Starting out was great, then management changed.

Cons

I got hurt on the job and everything went downhill after that. I couldn't preform my duties and felt pressured to resign. Workmans comp was a complete joke and corporate was a nightmare to deal with. If you don't have any problems then this job will work for you, but if you get sick or hurt don't expect sympathy and even if you have a doctor that tells you not to work for 6 weeks, don't expect a company (that is a hospital/ medical company) to go along with your doctor, they will ask for paperwork and still may not "approve" of the time off and put you through hell stressing over if you will have a job when you come back! I also was given a hard time missing work on a MONDAY (their busiest day) for a family FUNERAL!!!!

Pros

Leadership trainings, conferences, educational opportunities, Senior leadership seems to respond to employee feedback, Great organizational transparency and clarity around goals and direction, Front-line leadership receiving recognition more often, Fair (not amazing) compensation and benefits overall, Organization seems to be healthy and growing which is encouraging for job security and retention.

Cons

Unsustainable front-line leadership expectations, responsibilities, and tasks without providing support from supervisors or assistant managers specifically in San Francisco campuses, High burnout risk among front-line leaders which is continuing to increase, Growing list of contradicting or conflicting priorities. Patient experience scores have improved greatly in SF but patient quality/safety and employee satisfaction has become the apparent cost of that, Very unreasonable span of control for front-line leaders, i.e. way too many direct reports, Meeting metrics and KPIs at all costs is the message being received. Front-line leaders are left scrambling to reach the data points (regardless of the methods), to get there. In other words, we might be meeting the metrics and KPIs on paper, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the real purpose or reason behind those metrics is being performed. We’re just desperate to keep our jobs, The leadership culture in the last 6-9 months has shifted towards motivation through fear. Fear of losing our jobs or bonuses rather than motivation by providing actual daily support in doing our jobs and genuine concern and encouragement to succeed.
