Pros

Great teamwork with my fellow co workers, we really look out for each other.

Cons

Management just doesn't seem to care. Way understaffed, overworked, work flow impossible, lots of my co workers working double shifts just to get staffing level to skeleton crew status. Senior management just doesn't get it, they take away more and more perks from us every year, and are now forcing us to park 3 blocks away, which is all fine and good, unless you work the PM shift and are off at 1130 at night and have to walk 3 blocks by yourself in not the best neighborhood. Benefits sound great on paper, but my "Sutter " medical insurance denied my hospital stay because of a improper coding error by the sutter doctor's office . now they say I owe $55,000 for a procedure i needed. And that's how they treat their patients? Everything is about write ups, if you make someone mad you will get written up. Bad system. Everything boils down to the $$$. that's all they seem to care about. Yes, I understand it's a business, and businesses are there to make money, but as an employee, i don't want it drilled into my head on whether or not our department made budget, and now i have to "flex out" so they can make their bottom line. (that's a dirty little secret they don't want you to know about)

Pros

Beautiful, clean facilities. Some very nice, competent, hardworking, caring staff. Great marketing.

Cons

Serious micro-management issues, heavy handed, some very poor managers. Appear to be suspicious of staff and project impression that they are not valued.

Pros

Great benefits and great employees and co-workers throughout the facility.

Cons

We plus you mantra doesn't apply to employees. A very politically correct atmosphere emanates from management. The Five Pillars and processes to improve them at the local level are forced on employees, and yet its not possible to hold management responsible for their actions. You can't tell the king "he's not wearing any clothes."
