Sutter Health reviews

Management is allowed to bully employees and human resources is of little help. People in management positions are often focused on moving up the ladder, rather than on being good to their employees. The human resources department works for management, rather than as a mediator. Sutter is very top heavy with management. When they make cuts, for financial reasons, they make the cuts from the frontline/working staff.

Very low pay scale; treating patients like cattle; concern from management with nothing but the bottom line, no matter how it impacts patients and staff. Sutter keeps pushing the envelope on maintaining the barely legal levels of staffing and training. When patient care suffers as a result of policy, the front line staff is thrown to the wolves. Prime example: Sutter tried to replace Certified Nursing Assistants with uncertified Patient Care Assistants. The PCA's were former janitorial staff who had all been fired and made to reapply for the new positions... at reduced salary. This was so bad that it only lasted about a year, but the damage was immense and long-lasting.
