Pros

Health benefits are fantastic; location for public transportation is good and free shuttle service between locations. Co-workers are helpful and easy to work with.

Cons

Upper management shows no appreciation of staff, work load unbalanced. Preferential treatment shown to some. Some staff are located in cramped too small cubicles. Moral very low. Poor communication.

Pros

There are pretty decent benefits...

Cons

There is a extra layer of management that provides no value whatsoever. Why pay for these people to be here when they are essentially worthless. Supervisors are over-worked and under paid. I'd never want to "supervise" at this place.

Pros

Sutter is a great place to be from. Treat it as a training ground for a "real" career in healthcare. Sutter is the poster child for how NOT to run a hospital, and how NOT to treat staff. The incredible employee turnover rate means there are always openings, at all levels.

Cons

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.
