      I have been working at Sharp HealthCare full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Senior ER techs are very experienced, leads are always supportive, and it’s a great learning environment. Nurses are very caring.

      Cons

      Challenging patient population with comorbidities make the shift very long and challenging. Many of the patients speak Spanish, so bi-lingual is almost a must.

      Advice to Management

      Increase the staffing budget in order to retain experienced nurses. Sharp does a great job training new nurses, keep them with us.

      I have been working at Sharp HealthCare (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Sharp invests in the physical safety of its employees, unlike any other company I have worked with, they also are proactive in offering educational meetings that are relevant to the job we do. Management is fair and flexible with requested time off and there are plenty of opportunities to pick up extra shifts.

      Cons

      The use of customer surveys scores to determine department raises for staff (in part) seems a bit unfair ; satisfaction of a customer can be influenced by many factors, some of which is not within the control of the staff.

    5. "Poor leadership (specific only to IS, cannot speak to other areas)"

      I have been working at Sharp HealthCare full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Option to work from home, hourly wages ensure compensation for on call hours worked. Reputable company name, good for a resume.

      Cons

      Leadership is so out of touch with the day to day responsibilities of analysts. Decisions are made that make little to no sense, no real justification provided to try and understand reasons of decisions. Due to the timing/communication of said decisions, we are not given the tools to provide adequate customer service to our clients. General frame of mind is to “wing it” which is unacceptable in a health care environment. Feedback is encouraged but it falls on deaf ears.

      While we are hourly, and are compensated for on call hours, we routinely have overtime requests denied. Many you speak to will tell you that they put in OT hours that are unpaid due to their workloads and due dates, they have no other choice.

      Would be nice if the “Sharp Experience” they advertise so heavily was practiced within this department.

      Advice to Management

      Bring in analysts when making job impacting decisions and listen to their thoughts and suggestions. Don’t invite them in as a courtesy, actually LISTEN to them. Try and engage in their day to day so you have an actual sense of what is going on, don’t just assume based off of timesheet numbers.

    6. "Medical Assistant"

      I have been working at Sharp HealthCare part-time

      Pros

      Good doctors and team mates to work with. This company overall strives It's best to give the best patient experience!

      Cons

      Terrible management. Very political. As the years go by It becomes more of a social club than a proffessional organization. Its all about money, and less about quality.

      Advice to Management

      Value your good employees, invest in you hard working compassionate employees. Be more professional and leave the gossip behind closed doors.

      Pros

      great staff/team environment
      management has been very professional and competent at mostl sites I've worked
      Nurses and staff truly care for patients / empathetic
      Strict zero-tolerance policy on work place misconduct
      The staff really for the most part try to deliver compassionate care to patients and families

      Cons

      Certain hospitals have a click environment mostly Coronado and the Skilled Nursing Facilities though

      Advice to Management

      Crack down on those Skilled Nursing facilities in Coronado ! The patients suffer

      I have been working at Sharp HealthCare full-time

      Pros

      The ability to work remotely is offered by most managers.

      Cons

      Overworked, we are hourly but OT is hard to get approved. End up working OT anyway without clocking it bc deadlines need to be met.

      Advice to Management

      Would be just as useless to provide advice here as it is to provide advice within the company.

      Pros

      friendly staff, great benefits, sharp experience

      Cons

      Allow your new staff to learn the job, do not compare to employees that have been there forever.

      Advice to Management

      Give more guidance on what the issue is.
