Pros

Supports telecommuting Competitive salary Up to date software Training offerings, e.g. free six sigma Stable career Solid processes

Cons

Timekeeping...as others pointed out, timekeeping is a PAIN. You can't leave early and make up the time in that week. You have to work 8 hours a day. Period (or take PTO if you leave early). I have never seen a company with this strict of a system. Parking at HQ (Spectrum) is horrible. Often have to park in the Red Zones. No overflow or street parking. If there is no parking, work in the car or Starbucks? IT is spread over 3 buildings, each 10 min away. Can be painful and kind of a rush going between meetings and buildings. Lots of office politics Slow to change due to time people have been with the company (many 20-30 years etc) VPN very slow for telecommuters. To the point it is hindering productivity.

Thank you so much for your candid feedback. We really appreciate your honesty and are taking note of your frustrations. We've steadily increased telecommuting, flexible work schedules and increased use of technology such as Skype and Global Meets in an attempt to alleviate issues with limited parking and traveling to sites. We definitely recognize that we need to continue to seek ways to improve and iron out the kinks as we continue to grow. Thanks for all you do!

Great staff, someone always there to lend a hand if you have questions. Everyone works together to provide a quality hospital stay for the patients.

Cons

No pension plan, lower paying than ucsd. The CEO took forever to begin paying employees a fair rate for san diego. Lots of nurses leave for other hospitals

Pros

At Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, new employees are supported in many ways, especially new grads. Our Nurse Residency and Mentor programs east the transition into practice. Our hospital has a family-like culture, with everyone pitching in to help, supporting each other and striving to improve our nursing care. We are small enough to know each other across departments and we have few silos to overcome. Our leaders are visible to staff and open to hearing their concerns. We do not believe that a problem is too big to overcome by working together. I truly enjoy helping employees grow and thrive, as they help me to do so. We want lifelong learners, and those who truly care about helping those in need. We are well on to our Magnet designation, and became a Planetree designated hospital in 2014. We will open a new tower in 2019 which means great opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Each workplace has its own culture, and it's own set of challenges. Our patient population is not wealthy with a lot of resources to support them, so it can be challenging to give them all we want to help them heal.
