Business Outlook

Pros

Nice people, opportunity to make a difference in patients' lives, good benefits, opportunities to work independently as long as you are meeting established job expectations. Fairly easy to transfer to a different branch or affiliate. The quality of the care provided is very high, which allows you to take pride in your work

Cons

Poor work flow processes, unstable management (frequent turnover), poor communication between upper management and employees. As a not-for-profit, the company struggles financially, with most of the burden falling on the nurses to increase productivity, which is not possible given the huge volume of paperwork required. The policy of having to use earned vacation days for sick days diminishes the benefit.

Pros

I have worked for Sutter since 2001 and am very happy here. It has a very strong feeling of family and loyalty among employees. I think that overall the company acts with integrity and a patients best interest in mind. The senior managment team are very respectful of their employees and try to effectively reward us. We have a decent amount of freedom when it comes to time off and breaks during the day. I feel that I get paid very well for the work that I do and I have transfered to several different work groups during my time with Sutter. They have a lot of opportiunity for growth and their tuition reimbursement plan in excellent. My location is very convienient to freeways and schools. I am very happy here.

Cons

Some of the policies are a bit excessive, and we only get 3 weeks off a year between sick and holiday time and it goes quickly.
