Pros
Working with children and friendly coworkers

Low pay and is a for profit for PAs so you cannot do loan forgiveness
- 2.0Mar 16, 2022Anonymous EmployeeFormer Employee, more than 3 years
Pros
Prestige of working for the hospital
Cons
Benefits are not great, you have to predict the future of holidays. Meaning you accrue PTO and sick leave all together. You are forced to use your hours when sick, but also for holidays like Labor Day, they don’t keep them separate so if you get sick before Labor Day and have 0 hours you get reprimanded for not having saved enough hours when you had no choice but to use them. Also you don’t get annual pay raises they use a really out dated scale to determine pay.

6 - 1.0Apr 17, 2019Customer Service RepresentativeCurrent Employee
Pros
Great leadership and job stability.
Cons
Extremely low wages verses other healthcare organizations, overworked and underpaid is an understatement. Low employee morale in all depts. No employee appreciation whatsoever. Radys requires you to temp for nearly a year before transitioning to core employee. Hugh employee turnover rate due to overwork and under pay/ under appreciated staff. Dead end job no options for growth.

1 - 4.0Dec 27, 2021Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)KEY NOT FOUND: jobLine.per_diem-currentSan Diego, CA
Pros
Being able to care for children and their families. Ability to gain experience and learn new skills.
Cons
Awful management = Low morale Team leaders and managers contribute to toxic work environment among co-workers. Non-competitive pay when compared with other organizations. Pay is not commensurate with work demands and (toxic) work environment.
- 3.0Nov 20, 2017Administrative AssistantFormer Employee, more than 1 yearSan Diego, CA
Pros
Mission is great. Pleasant co-workers.
Cons
No career growth opportunities within organization. They'll give you more responsibilities to make you feel there is 'growth' but no pay raise to compensate the added duties. Manager will give you a 'promotion' but tell you its a lateral move so there's no pay raise. Major micromanaging and pointless weekly, daily huddles.
