Pros

The corporate office truly believes in diversity in the workplace and has many employees working in the corporate office over the age of 50. All the employees I encountered at the corporate level were extremely happy and proud of Scripps.

Cons

Unfortunately what the corporate office has strived for is not the case at Scripps Green Hospital. There were lots of derogatory comments made about workers over the age of 50.

Pros

One of the best reasons is the location. However, Scripps is also beginning to have a national reputation for forward thinking. The CEO is very competent. Their compensation is fair for a health care system. Leadership's committment to communicating with managers and above is tremendous for an organization of it's size. Most employees I dealt with had strong moral. Scripps is also becoming the dominant healthcare organization in the San Diego region. Scripps recognizes that work is not everything and goes to great lengths to ensure that employee satisfaction is monitored. Executive bonus payments are in part based on employee satisfaction scores.

Cons

Almost all meaningful decisions are made at the senior executive level. There are very opportunities to participate in decision making, even as a senior director or vice president. Like most large organizations, there are competing factions within Scripps Health that vy for influence with senior leadership. This internal competition seems to be almost encouraged by the CEO. As a result, there is a culture of secrecy and "scheming" among the senior executives. There are limited opporunities for advancement. Most leadership positions are held by individuals who are long entrenched and will not be moving on soon. Also, Scripps has a history of hiring from the outside to fill leadership positions.

Pros

Has a great reputationa and has no financial problems

Cons

Lazy disengaged management, poor HR processes. Some employees enjoy a flexible schedule but this isn't consistently offered. Very slow to respond to the gas crisis with flexible schedules and / or mass transit solutions. Managers / directors in roles they were given and/ or in roles only for the money - they don't want to lead, manage and mentor but the only way to make more money is to be in a leadership role.
