Pros

Benefits that are left.

Cons

Failing Leadership from the top to middle management. Those in front of the patients and customers are driven to do more with less. It's all about money and patient care and services are last. Senior management is fearful that all of their past and present missteps are bring about the end of Scripps but continue to blame and attack employees. The HR department is only there for management and employees be damned. They attack the hard working front line staff and protect managers, directors, VP's and CEO who are never held accountable. They are the attack dogs of management and should not be trusted. The best managers have left due to senior management and HR failures to support them and the lies of employees who complain the most and do the least amount of work. If you honestly get a Scripps employee to tell you their real feelings, they will tell you they want to leave and they are unhappy. The Scripps culture is very toxic and if you are not a part of the Senior Management Click you are a target. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Pros

Honestly, the only real positives were the beautiful location near Torrey Pines and the incredible coworkers I built strong relationships with—dedicated, hardworking people who truly support one another.

Cons

If I could give Scripps a negative rating, I would. I’m in my mid-30s and have worked in multiple health systems across the U.S., and this was by far the worst experience I’ve had—largely due to the leadership culture. I frequently worked well beyond my job scope because of inadequate departmental support (functioning as the data analyst for the department, even though that was not my hired position). Despite consistently going above and beyond—essentially functioning as a team of one in a role that typically has 2–3 staff at other centers—my efforts were neither recognized nor valued. Instead, I was often talked down to and disrespected. To make matters worse, I worked as a team of one and was expected to “show up as a leader” without the title, compensation, authority, or respect to match. Over my year there, I experienced unprofessional behavior, including leadership accidentally sending me text messages gossiping about me with inaccurate information, with no apology to follow. When I raised concerns, I was told, “I don’t want to hear about this anymore.” When I requested time off due to burnout after a denied PTO request, I was told there was “no reason” for me to feel burned out and that “all I ever do is complain.”
