Pros

Despite my short tenure with SPS, I have found the staff one of the most engaging and motivated group with whom I've had the privilege to work. The atmosphere and facilities are first rate, designed to foster creativity of mind, accessibility of management and wellness of spirit. Coming to work here has been the best experience over the last eight years of my career. Many companies talk of feedback and development, SPS practices it.

Cons

The leadership team is one of the real strengths of SPS, however as the company is expanding more leaders are needed to help mentor and model for those who are joining the Sutter Team and growing within the company. If you are engaging, ambitious, provide excellent customer service and have such skills and experience to help mold leaders, you'll quickly find a purpose and a place among our staff.

What a great feeling to have - to be able to come to work and feel like you are part of a team that is engaged and motivated to do work that really matters. Walking the talk takes a lot of work and I'm glad to hear that you are experiencing the fruit of our labor.

Pros

Leadership trainings, conferences, educational opportunities, Senior leadership seems to respond to employee feedback, Great organizational transparency and clarity around goals and direction, Front-line leadership receiving recognition more often, Fair (not amazing) compensation and benefits overall, Organization seems to be healthy and growing which is encouraging for job security and retention.

Cons

Unsustainable front-line leadership expectations, responsibilities, and tasks without providing support from supervisors or assistant managers specifically in San Francisco campuses, High burnout risk among front-line leaders which is continuing to increase, Growing list of contradicting or conflicting priorities. Patient experience scores have improved greatly in SF but patient quality/safety and employee satisfaction has become the apparent cost of that, Very unreasonable span of control for front-line leaders, i.e. way too many direct reports, Meeting metrics and KPIs at all costs is the message being received. Front-line leaders are left scrambling to reach the data points (regardless of the methods), to get there. In other words, we might be meeting the metrics and KPIs on paper, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the real purpose or reason behind those metrics is being performed. We’re just desperate to keep our jobs, The leadership culture in the last 6-9 months has shifted towards motivation through fear. Fear of losing our jobs or bonuses rather than motivation by providing actual daily support in doing our jobs and genuine concern and encouragement to succeed.
