Pros

The people I work with are amazing. I have not worked with a more committed, emotionally mature group. My Manager is fantastic. Community investment is great. You really have a sense that it is all about the patients and people. Leadership is always looking to improve. Even when dealing with an issue whether it be a process or technology issue you know it will eventually get fixed. Compensation including benefits. Opportunity for growth exists.

Cons

I wasn't sure if this was a pro or a con. Healthcare has undergone immense change in the last decade, particularly the last five years. Sutter has not been immune and the change has been substantial. It has been a necessity due to the regulatory and fiscal environment however it has been hard work. The saving grace is the benevolence shown towards staff and the understanding that this has been a challenging five years.

Pros

Patients are great, but other than a weekly paycheck---- that you don't have free time to enjoy spending---- nothing else is redeemable

Cons

Working for free after hours and on weekends, doing an outstanding job, patients raving about the care they receive, MDs copy your notes verbatim because you did all their necessary research, leaving them with ability to simply sign their name to your work; therefore freeing them from doing the laborious time consuming research themselves and yet having incredibly ignorant managers badger the hell out you. You work for free doing nothing but excellent work and they stab you in the back with lies to encourage you to work like some modern day slave.

Pros

Good pay and benefits.

Cons

Management was built on friends hiring friends. Managers rarely know the jobs of the people they oversee and they spend most of their time chasing whatever the fire of the moment is. Managers enjoy the freedoms of unlimited vacation time and no accountability while they phone in their jobs and require employees to perform redundant documentation tasks that inevitably end in after hours work. Sutter is so afraid of lawsuits that they allow managers to bully employees and conduct themselves with no standards or guidelines. The management team of the PMO is so unexperienced that they had to bring in a consulting agency to teach them how to run a PMO. It's a clown party. There are no paths for careers in place in the PMO although it is rumored HR is working on something.
