Pros

Many excellent people in this organization I enjoyed working with, compensation was generous, pension plan is fully funded. Overall satisfied with org structure and felt like work was important and rewarding.

Cons

Succession planning suggested I would have the opportunity to move into an executive role within a decade which turned out to be an empty promise. There were also imbalanced job titles where lots of managers had no employees, but lesser titled employees with multiple employees reporting to them.

Pros

Overall Sutter is great company with many great benefits.

Cons

Manager not there for support. Manager states has "open door policy" but never available door is always shut or in meetings if we do get in we are made to feel we are lacking or not performing our duties or it is just not enough made to feel like we are in the wrong for making light of a problem or concern it is turned around that we made to feel we are the issue. We have lost 2 Supervisors in less than a four month period the Supervisor that is remaining is not available/not on floor always in Managers office or in meetings, leaving workload to leads who are overloaded with special projects and their own workload plus others. When we have questions we must wait it out and leave us feeling overwhelmed with our own workload plus the workload of others who are not doing their job or who just did not come in but nothing is done about it . We are losing good employees and the need improvement ones get praised or are rising. I see a trend that could be devastating for our group as a whole. Lack of training for new employees who are not ready to go after 3 days of training making mistakes that cost time to correct and take away from productivity which has become a major factor and a major concern to all because we are understaffed and lack training.
