Pros

I have worked at several healthcare organizaitons in San Diego and must say that Sharp is the best place to work hands down. The "Sharp Experience" is part of the organizaional culture. Sharp invests in leadership with quarterly all-day training sessions. The leadership team at my entity is visionary, supportive, and appreciative of good work.

Cons

Work 50+ hours/week. Workload is extremely heavy on ongoing basis. New priority projects are started even though numerous other projects are already in process.

Pros

Driven towards a culture of safety for patients, outstanding leadership by Mike Murphy and Dan Gross, there are a select group of leaders who are excellent and their heart is in the right place and passionate about providing excellent care

Cons

Management can be unethical depending on the department, no confidentiality when you speak to upper management, management sticks together and only looks at the their best interest without being fair to employees

Pros

Large organization in the San Diego community committed to patient safety and care. They have raised the bar in the community.

Cons

They will work you to the bone, and show little gratitude when you do. They are the "sharp experience" to patients but do not care about employees. Most clinical managers are incredibly spoiled, and immature, and unwilling to work with non-nursing managers. It is always the clinical side of the business first, and a battle for the non-clinical side - there is truly no sense of team between the two types of groups. This is driven by a divided executive team that leads by example; clinical comes first and all others last. When the executives practice this way of thinking, the rest follow. Before considering taking a position with Sharp, ask important questions about the turnover rate, and the dept: What was the reason for the last person leaving the dept and how long ago did they leave? How many employees have left the dept in the last year? Do you use temporary staff, and how many are currently in the dept? If salaried, how many hours are typically worked each week, and how many days should you expect to stay late? Which executive has direct responsibility for the dept, and how would they describe his/her management style?
