Sanford Health reviews

The department was a joke, low pay, a young, micro-managing supervisor, childish office behavior

Sanford as a whole cares little for their employees and would prefer to employ robots. Money is now the main focus and "expanding their footprint" so the CEO can leave his legacy. You want proof Sanford is really slipping? In the latest annual "Best of" Issue in Sioux Falls, Sanford isn't even listed as a top 5 of health care options in the area, and there really are only 2, Avera and Sanford. Each year, when were given the report on how we did, actual healthcare for our patients is never even mentioned, just how much money we did or didn't make. That's the focus. On our strategic plans, there is nothing about improving the actual care we give patients, just expanding our research and footprint. Sanford is no longer in the actual patient care business, if you listen to corporate leadership. Last but not least, they mislead you on your benefits. When it comes to PTO, they tell you start off with earning 7.1 hours per pay period, which sounds OK. What they don't tell you is that you MUST use PTO hours on all holidays. They don't pay you for holidays and they don't let you work them, unless you're in direct patient care. They force you to take the day off and use your PTO hours, whether you want to or not.
